In an interview with CBN, the US director of Transform Iran, Lana Silk, spoke of the impact dreams and visions are having in leading Iranians and other Middle Easterners into a relationship with Christ, Faithwire, reports.

It’s a serious decision for Muslims to become Christian in Iran as it can lead to banishment by their family. They can also potentially face arrest, because it is actually illegal for a Muslim to convert to Christianity in that country.

As a result, many often need God’s direct intervention to help them make the decision and one of those ways is through dreams.

“The Iranians are open to dreams; they are dreamers. They enjoy talking about their dreams, and they’re aware of their dreams, and God uses that to speak to them,” Silk said in the interview.

She cited an example of one Muslim woman who was involved in an abusive relationship after being married at the age of 13.

The woman started having visions of Jesus standing in her doorway and as well dreams, where Christ was telling her to “Come and trust me; come and follow me.”

Initially, she turned to her Islamic faith to get them to stop. She even started praying about it, but things took a dramatic turn when she was trying to cite the name of Mohammad in one of her prayers and ended up saying, Jesus.

Today, the woman serves as ministry leader for Transform Iran, Silk added.
