Ahmet was visiting his sick father, who lived in a massive Middle Eastern city where Seventh-day Adventists are not legally allowed to witness in public or distribute literature door-to-door.
Although he had never heard of Adventists or visited their church, Ahmet felt a strange impression to go find an Adventist church.
“The impression came again and again,” said Ahmet, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity four years ago.
Following the impression, he set off without any information to find the church in a huge city with a population of over 10 million, with only 30 known Adventist members.
Finally, he found the church, stepped into the entrance area and knocked on the inner door but he was met with silence.
“Nobody was there except Ellen White books,” said Ahmet
Local church members had placed a book rack inside the church’s entrance, an area no longer considered a public space. Noticing the rack filled with free literature, Ahmet felt convicted to pick up “The Victory of Love” by Ellen White.
