Shiite Muslims – a people God is pursuing to be Jesus’ Bride

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Romans 10:17 NIV
Inside the home of a practicing Shiite Muslim home, while drinking tea with their Shiite friends, two Christ Followers began to share about Jesus.
The father of the family and three of his daughters were in the living room visiting together when the conversation turned towards Jesus. They asked one of the Christ followers if she had a beloved and she answered, "Yes! My beloved is Jesus."
The family, a little surprised and very curious at this response, began to ask a plethora of questions. The Christ Followers were able to share the gospel message as the father and his daughters listened and asked more questions.
Rahma, one of the daughters, asked the Christ Followers how they prayed. They explained how, and then they asked the Shiite family for permission to pray right then and there. The family agreed. One of the believers prayed out loud, and then both the Christ Followers sang a worship song of prayer.
While this precious Shiite family did not agree or understand all they were told about Jesus, they were interested in listening and in hearing more about Him. At the close of their visit, the Christ followers asked the family if they would like a Bible. The family happily agreed!
Friend of His Shiite Bride, pray that thousands of Shiite Muslim families have the opportunity to hear about Jesus and embrace Him as their Beloved. Pray that millions of Shiite Muslims hear the Good News and begin to follow Him together, as entire families, parents and children. Ask God to give more Christ Followers access into Shiite homes to boldly share the Good News like these two believers did recently.
