Okay. So what happened to Malik was I met him with one of our sons. We were traveling together to do a trip to work with these refugees. And I met him in 2014 and I shared the gospel with him, but he just wasn't ready for it yet. He just he was so depressed and unable to use his hands and just from the torture because they told him because he took down that Syrian flag.

They said, you'll never use these hands again. And so but I saw him one year later in 2015. And I was with our Arab Christian friends that have this wonderful NGO that help refugees. And we saw Malik walking down the street. And I said to my friend, man, he looks different. What's going on? And my Arab Christian friend said, he said, Tim, he's been born again. Malik's been born again.

I said, what's the story? And here it is in a nutshell. Malik said, I was sitting in my apartment one day, I was smoking and thinking I was depressed and a bright light came into my room. He said, I felt like it was in another world and I could see a man, but not his face. And he said to me, Malik, I am the savior of the world. I am the way, the truth and the life.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah. It's like we said in the last podcast, you know, sometimes if you ever have the devil put in your mind a doubt about, Hey, Is all this Christianity stuff real?
