I recently had the privilege of speaking with a Muslim convert to Christianity. Thousands of Muslims have experienced dreams and visions of God, and “Baris” took the time to share how a vision of Jesus changed his life.

When I asked Baris to share his testimony, he spoke about his devout Muslim family who means everything to him. He arrived in the United States as a graduate student more than a decade ago, and now owns several businesses. In Turkey, he was a “missionary” of the Islamic faith, and he continued to live as a good Muslim here in the United States. In his first year as a graduate student, he says he did read part of the Bible, but put it aside. He married a woman from a strict Muslim family, and on Friday nights, he and his friends studied the Quran.

About a year ago, he found a Turkish translation of the New Testament online. “It really affected me,” he says, and he kept reading secretly. The Quran had taught him that the Bible was corrupted and that Jesus was only a prophet. Baris said, “I felt conflicted,” but he wanted answers about Jesus. Each night, he locked himself in a small room of his house to pray for at least an hour.
