This Man's Dream Will SHOCK You, He Dreamed Of Christ And THIS Happened...

A Story of Faith and Change

Glenn Beck opens by arguing that God changes culture and politics indirectly by changing people’s hearts. He illustrates this idea with the story of Ahmed Yoktan, who grew up in Saudi Arabia as the son of a mufti and memorized the Quran by age 13.

While studying English in New Zealand, Ahmed dreamed that a radiant figure told him to go to a building with white columns, where he would find “the truth.” A Christian teacher suggested the figure was Jesus. Ahmed later found the church from his dream and spoke with its pastor, Brian Johnson. Johnson discussed Christianity with him and pointed him to John 14:6. Ahmed decided to follow Jesus.

After returning to Saudi Arabia, Ahmed secretly read an Arabic New Testament. When his family discovered it, his brothers beat him, and his father threatened him with a gun unless he burned the book. Ahmed did so, but says his belief remained. His family disowned him, and he returned to New Zealand with lasting injuries.

Beck says Ahmed later co-founded the online ministry Mecca to Christ, which teaches Muslims about Christianity, and wrote books. Ahmed reportedly says he has never regretted his decision.

Ahmed also learned that Johnson’s congregation had spent two weeks fasting and praying for the opportunity to share the Gospel with someone from Saudi Arabia in New Zealand. Those prayers coincided with Ahmed’s dream and visit.
