Muslim Girl Overhears Gospel Conversation
Ayesha
Our partners in Pakistan share this story about Ayesha:
“During this devotional distribution campaign, our hearts were moved in prayer to go to the brick kilns located in the outskirts of Lahore. Housed primarily on site, the workers are some of the poorest of the poor in Pakistan, essentially indentured servants, and primarily Christian. Families are required to make between 1000 and 2000 bricks a day, and all the members of the family are involved, even underage children.
“Our partners on the ground went to the nearest brick kiln where they go to minister regularly. These brick kiln workers are modern slaves who don’t even get a single day off to attend a church service. Their children don’t go to school or any Sunday school. One can imagine how precious these audio devotional devices would be for them.
“Five families comprising of twenty children (plus adults) received this device as a blessing. With teary eyes, they listened to a few devotions in front of us with matchless happiness. They couldn’t believe that this sacred possession is theirs and that they can listen to the Word of God anytime.”

“On the same day, the Lord opened another door to sow the seed of faith in a Muslim family. An eleven-year-old girl named Ayesha (pictured above) was watching this from a distance while playing with her dolls. Ayesha shared about overhearing our conversation and how interesting she found the story. She insisted on getting a device too as she wants to listen more.
“Handing the Bible or any Christian material to a Muslim is considered blasphemy in Pakistan and is a capital offense. Our partners were already hesitant to hand over any material to a child. They told her to bring any adult, so she ran like a flash and brought her mother, who seemed to be a devout Muslim in properly covered attire (hijab).
“Her mother was curious to know about the ‘magical’ device as she was surprised to see Ayesha’s joy. FMI’s partners did share about their faith, the Bible, and Jesus. She allowed Ayesha to have this device secretly because Ayesha was not ready to leave without it. Ayesha is the only child, born after ten years of marriage. Pray for Ayesha and her family to be saved through this devotional device, Amen!”
