West Africa: The miracle at the imam's house


In one community in West Africa, an imam named Sa’id became a Christ follower and began sharing his new faith. Neighboring Muslims demanded that he would abandon his new religion, but he refused. So the threats began.

Realizing his life was at risk, Sa’id began to pray about whether or not to abandon his home and escape to a safe place. He finally decided to make preparations to leave. But the night before, a group of Muslims surrounded his home and set fire to the thatched roof. The flames spread rapidly, and the noise of the animals staying near the house alerted Sa’id to what was happening. Sa’id and his family were nearly trapped in the flames, but they narrowly escaped.

When Sa’id looked up, half of his roof was gone, and the rest of the house was being enveloped by the flames. He had seconds to get a safe distance away from the burning house, but before he did Sa’id prayed: ‘Holy God, I don’t have anyone to come and help me now. So please help me!’ Within seconds, the fire extinguished itself, leaving only half of the roof destroyed and the house still standing. Amazed and in shock, Sa’id brought his family back inside and spent the balance of the night there.

At first light, the neighbors saw the destruction and were sure that the family must have died in the fire. But Sa’id and his family emerged unharmed, and the neighbors realized that the fire had stopped in the middle of a thatched roof. When Sa’id shared what had happened, how God had spared his family, animals and home, the community knew that the God of Sa’id was able to save them too. Many in the community became Christ followers, and the persecution of Christians in the area stopped completely.
