afat lived with his aunt and uncle and their children in a large Middle Eastern village. One day, John, a Bible League-trained worker, came to this village and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. John asked Rafat's uncle to host a Bible study using Bible League study materials.

"This made my uncle very nervous," says Rafat. "He feared an attack from local radical Muslims."

John was asked to leave the town and Rafat was asked to make sure he left the village. As Rafat was walking with John, he felt something stir inside. He felt a need to know something about the Bible. "I didn't want him to leave," recalls Rafat. "I decided to go along while John visited another house."

The house they stopped at was well known for witchcraft and demonic worship. "We both entered the house and using the Bible, John shared Christ with the people. He also prayed with them. Even as he spoke, something inside me awakened and I knew I needed Jesus. I got saved right then and there!" exclaims Rafat.
