McLean Bible Church Pastor David Platt interviewed the missionary during The Gospel Coalition’s “Something Needs to Change Simulcast” a few years ago. To protect him, the church did not show an image of the missionary, and Platt gave him the pseudonym, “Yazid” which means “God will increase.” The church also altered Yazid’s voice so it cannot be recognized.

Yazid and his wife live and work in a part of the Middle East where it’s against the law to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and even life-threatening to talk about the advancement of the gospel.

The couple spends their lives sharing the gospel among Muslims who have never heard it, and they also plant churches. “God is moving inside the Middle East with dreams, visions, and personal visitations,” Yazid shared.

He went on to say that a man shared his amazing supernatural encounter with God: “‘A man wearing all white knocks on my door every night, and I couldn’t look at him because his face was so shiny and bright. When he would come inside, he asked me to write down what he said. And as I wrote, I would fall asleep. And then, the next night, he would come again… for the next month.'”

Yazid asked the man, “What did you write? May I see your notebook?”

Yazid shared that in the man’s notebook was written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”

“He had the whole book of John verbatim in his notebook,” said Yazid. “This is amazing. Jesus visited him every night until he finished the book….”

[Platt] also asked Yazid what projects he was working on right now in the Middle East and what resources were needed. Yazid explained how he and his wife want to build 10 churches, but “training disciples who make disciples takes time and funding….”

THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE

Pray for Muslims during this season of Ramadan that they would encounter the living God, Jesus Christ.

The Bible records numerous visions of Jesus and angels speaking to people, so we know God does choose to speak to people in this way at times….
