Suffering prompted Kamran to think about his life and search for truth. While searching, he found the Bible, experienced a miraculous healing and gave his life to Jesus.
About six years ago, Kamran* had back surgery. The recovery was long and painful, and he was bound to his bed.
As he lay in bed in Guba, a city in northern Azerbaijan, he thought a lot about his life. He had grown up in a Muslim culture, but he began to question it and look for truth. As he was doing research, he found the New Testament on the internet and started reading it.
As he read, great comfort, joy, calmness and peace came to his heart. He had never known such joy and comfort. He begged the God of the Bible: “Heal me so that I may stand up and dedicate my whole life to You. I will learn about You and believe in You.”
And God healed him. Kamran got out of bed and was able to work again.
One day, he came across social media content that had been created by the OM in the Caucasus’s social media disciple multiplication ministry. Because he had loved reading the New Testament online, he wanted a physical copy to read as well. He connected with the social media team and requested one.
Sahib,* one of OM’s partners, went to Guba and met with Kamran. When he gave him the New Testament, Kamran told him, “I already believe in Jesus Christ.”
Right then and there – in the middle of the street – Sahib led Kamran in a prayer of repentance, and he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord. Soon, his family began to follow Jesus, and now they faithfully attend a small home church in the Guba region, which Sahib helped start last summer.
