Young man falls in love with the Adventist Church through free literature in an empty church

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.
