Attachment:

Amina (name changed for protection) is a 56-year-old woman whose deepest desire was to study God’s Word and grow in her faith, but she couldn’t read. In her village, no one knew how to read. She prayed for months, asking God to make a way for her to understand the words of the Bible.

One night as she slept, Amina had a supernatural encounter. In a dream, she was instructed to go to a nearby village where she would find God’s Word. Amina woke up, her heart pounding with excitement. It was still dark outside, but she eagerly asked her son to take her to the village. He declined, saying it was too late to go.

Despite her son’s concern about the late hour and the dangers of wild animals in their area, Amina felt compelled with an urgency from God. She decided to venture out by herself and walked for an hour and half in the dark. Amina trusted that God had something extraordinary waiting for her.

An Act of Faith and Indescribable Joy

When she arrived at the village, she saw our Indigenous Leader’s team packing up their van after an outreach event. In an act of faith, she approached them and shared her dream. As it happened, they had brought 20 Bibles to distribute during their event but had only given out 19. With great joy, they handed the last Bible to Amina.

But this was not a printed Bible – it was a Treasure audio Bible in her very own heart language. When they explained that she could listen to God’s Word instead of reading it, Amina’s face lit up with indescribable joy. She clutched the Treasure to her chest, with tears streaming down her face, and exclaimed, “This is the best day of my life!” She felt as though God Himself was speaking to her.

Amina’s heart overflowed with gratitude and praise as she thanked God for answering her prayers in such a miraculous way! What a mighty God we serve.
