The other phenomenon that's going on that I write about in my new book is that in the Middle East, in many Middle Eastern countries, it's illegal to share the Christian message. And so what is God doing? He's bringing dreams about Jesus to these people. This is a phenomenon that is sweeping the Middle East. People are not going to sleep as a Muslim, meeting Jesus in a dream, becoming Christians.
That's not how it happens, because that could be just a subjective experience. No, there is corroboration to these dreams. So I'll give you an example. So a woman named Noor, mother of eight, Muslim, lives in Cairo. One night, she has a Jesus dream. It's the most profound, vivid dream, unlike any other she's ever had. And Jesus appears to her.

She hadn't even noticed because she was so mesmerized by Jesus. A guy was walking with them along the lakeside. He said, my friend will tell you. She wakes up from the dream.
