– I was not looking for Christ, but Christ was looking and reaching out for me, testifies a man from the Middle East in a video that was published earlier this year on Vimeo.

The video is produced by Arab World Media and Middle East Media and is a part of a new project called “Arabian Dawn”. In the months to come these companies will produce 10 to 12 videos showing testimonies from Arab Muslim background believers who have come to Christ.

– Hearing the distinct voice of an Arab speaking of how he came to faith in Jesus Christ would be life changing for many seekers in the Arabian Peninsula. The current climate in the Arab world has led many to ask questions about their religious beliefs, states Arab World Media in a newsletter.

The Arabian man featured in the Vimeo-video states clearly how he was led to Christ through Christian co-workers.

– In my job I met Western colleagues who worked with me. A small share of them was Christians. I noticed a big difference in the conduct of this small group who believed in Christ. They were completely different from the other Western colleagues, the man explains. Still, when one of the Christian co-workers started sharing about his faith, he showed very little interest.  When the co-worker later on left the Middle East he gave the man an electronic version of the Bible.

– I opened it when I returned home. It had the Bible saved on it. I was praying to the Lord and seeking him to know if what was written in this book, the Bible, was true or not. – Lord, show me the way to you. Let me know who you are. Peace overwhelmed my heart as I was praying. It was as if I heard the Lord´s voice saying: “Here I am”, says the man.  You can watch the whole testimony here.
