Bullets can’t stop the Gospel.
Christian missionaries preach the good news of Jesus Christ
in war-torn Aleppo.
Fearless warriors of Christ are giving hope to the hopeless
in the war-battered Syrian city of Aleppo. These are the local missionaries who
brave bombs and bullets to show the light of God and His redeeming power to the
city's battered and endangered residents, according to Christian Aid Mission. Since
the Syrian civil war started five years ago, an estimated 400,000 to 500,000
people have been killed, about half of them civilians. But despite the horrific
conditions and stink of death everywhere, local Christian workers continue
their work of providing spiritual nourishment to the people of Aleppo, giving
them strength by keeping their focus on Christ. Part of their work is baptising
people who have accepted Christ. Since the beginning of this year, the local
missionaries have baptised more than 230 people, according to the director of
the gospel ministry in Syria, who talked to Christian Aid Mission.He said on
one occasion alone, 53 people were baptised, with each one telling how they
came to believe in Christ. The director cited the story of one woman in Aleppo
who had dreamt repeatedly of a man who told her that three people would come
and bring her good news."She continued to have this dream for six days in
a row," he said. On the seventh day, a team of three Christian workers
decided to visit her house. "When they opened their Bible, she instantly
fell to her knees," the director said."These are the people that the
man in my dream told me to meet!" she excitedly told her husband and
children.After the Christian workers told them about the saving death and
resurrection of Christ and prayed with them, they all embraced Christ, the
director said.
