Miracles among Syrians struggling to survive war zone

SYRIA (ANS - March 23, 2016)
-- An extraordinary number of Muslims living in war-torn Syria have
decided to follow Jesus after experiencing His love firsthand through
miraculous healings and gifts from above.
Among
the people living in or near the war zone, many are struggling to
survive because there is simply not enough food, according to the
Lebanon-based director of Christian Aid Mission.
One Syrian mother, identified as Majida, went to God in prayer after her family ran out of food.
“She
prayed, ‘Lord, I know you never let us down — we need food for our
family,'” the director recounted. “As she was walking later that day,
she found some money on the path in front of her. She was so pleased
that God had answered her prayer in such a creative way that she started
jumping up and down with joy.”
Majida
rushed to buy bread for her family, and when her neighbors asked where
she had gotten the money, she said, “It was sent to me from God.”
“They pressed her to tell them how that was possible, so she went on to share her faith and pray with them,” the director said.
Desperate
Muslims who hear about miraculous healings through Christians are drawn
to find out more. A mother named Nivine brought her paralyzed,
2-year-old daughter to a meeting of one of the ministry teams affiliated
with Christian Aid Mission (www.christianaid.org).
The ministry leader informed Nivine that they pray in the name of Jesus.
“Whatever it takes,” she replied, in tears. “Just make her better!”
“When
we pray, we pray to a living God,'” the ministry leader told her. Then
he explained the gospel to her and she accepted Christ.
After
she was born again, Nivine started faithfully attending the meetings
with her paralyzed daughter.” The group continued to pray for the child
in the following days.
About
two weeks later, Nivine was worshiping at a meeting with her daughter
next to her. She glanced down and noticed her daughter was smiling. Then
she was shocked to see that her hands were moving. Could this be a
dream? But her daughter continued to move.
