An Amazing Story

One of my favorite news stories over the past month came out of Iran. A young woman from a Muslim background became a Christian, but she was compelled by her parents to marry a Muslim man. He did not know about her faith.

Afraid he would find out, she used the pretense of visiting her “uncle” to attend a Christian conference. Her husband met her “uncle” and found out that he was leading a Christian meeting. To the “uncle’s” surprise, the husband wanted to attend the conference!

Still not realizing his wife was involved in the conference, he participated in it and became a Christian. Thinking his wife was a Muslim, he was afraid she would divorce him when she found out. Meanwhile, she was still terrified to tell him about her own faith.

At last they told each other—and what joy they must have had when they finally realized that they were fellow believers!
