‘Let the world see that I love the Lord Jesus. He said whoever is ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of him in front of my Father. So why would I be ashamed of Him? He is my refuge and the shelter of my children!’ (Nisreen, Qamishli, Syria)
These are the powerful words of Nisreen, a believer from a Muslim background. She is clearly filled with the love of Christ and Jesus has clearly been calling her since she was young: ‘The love of Christ was planted in me since I was little,’ she says. ‘I used to see how Christians’ behaviour is better than ours. I’ve always liked Christians and I used to say to my parents: “There is something connecting me and Christians”.’
Centre of Hope
But Nisreen had yet to fully encounter Jesus and to follow Him. That happened when she came to a Centre of Hope in Qamishli, run by Pastor George.
