A princess find the One who can save her from fear

She is considered a princess because she is a descendant of the first Muslim missionary to come to this Southeast Asian country. Her forefathers have been tribal and religious leaders for many generations. Her grandmother is a respected folk healer. She grew up studying in the madrassa (a Muslim religious school). After she finished college, she met a business friend who began to share about Jesus. The two friends had many heated debates about their different beliefs. Then one night she had a dream that the evil one was chasing her. In her dream she rebuked him in the name of Jesus and was released from her fear. When she awoke she asked "Why is the name of Jesus so powerful? Why His name?" Shortly after, she surrendered her life to the One who could save her from fear. She testifies, "I cannot explain the joy I have in my heart with Jesus in my life!" She now wants to carry this message of joy to her people. Pray that she will have wisdom and boldness to be a light to her community.
