Like most people in her closed Central Asian country, Alina* followed the majority religion. She believed Jesus was a prophet but nothing more. When local Unto® staff team members came to her village to distribute aid, Alina gladly welcomed them. She was so grateful for the food and clothing she received, and she listened as they talked about Jesus. At the end of their visit, Alina shared about her friends who also needed help. The staff team was happy to provide them with meals as well. Alina insisted on going with them as they visited each person. At each home she watched our team members express the kindness of Jesus in a tangible way, and she listened as they talked about His eternal hope. A few days after delivering aid, Alina contacted our local staff team. She needed to talk with them — she had seen Jesus in a dream. Alina told them her dream about how she had met Abraham, Isaac, and Jesus. At first she thought she was meeting three of the main prophets in her religion. But then Jesus walked up to her and said, “You’ve heard about me. You know I’m the way. It’s time to start following me.” Suddenly, Alina realized that Jesus was more than a prophet. And she eagerly wanted to follow Him. Our local staff members prayed with her as she joyfully responded to the message of eternal hope. Today Alina is part of a house church in her village. Over the past six months, our team members have watched as others have also experienced the kindness of Jesus and responded to His message. Six new house churches have been established in this previously unreached area! In closed countries like this one, your generosity is multiplied to make an eternal impact on those who have never heard about Jesus. *Name changed for security purposes. |
