“Danny,” a former Muslim, chose to become a Christian. His rich uncle found out that Danny had converted to Christianity. When the uncle confronted him, Danny said he would not deny that he believes in Jesus Christ. The uncle was enraged and used his wealth to command an officer of the local police department to arrest Danny and put him into prison.

Upon his arrest, Danny was first put into a room with water on the floor deep enough to cover his ankles. There was no toilet so Danny had to stand in contaminated water. The police threw bread into the water so Danny would have to eat tainted food or nothing at all. As he grew sick and was at the point of death, they would care for his medical needs and then would start the cycle of torture over again. Then they would interrogate him to force him to deny Jesus and to inform them about the activities of other Christians. When he resisted, they hung him by his wrists and applied electric shocks to his head. It was terribly painful.

One day as the officer came to torture him with the electric shocks, Danny cried out in a loud voice, “In Jesus’ name!” The officer’s face immediately changed and evil spirits came out of him, as if he was awakening from a dream.

The officer exclaimed, “What am I doing?” and he set Danny free. He also said that he was sorry that he hurt Danny and “even though your uncle paid me to do it, I cannot kill an innocent person.”

Ultimately, the officer was punished by being sent to a remote place far away from his family for helping Danny.

Today, Danny cannot remember much of what happened. The electric shocks have caused brain damage. As a devout Muslim, he had memorized the entire Koran, but now he cannot remember any of it. So now he says that he is pleased that he “can’t remember the bad verses, the garbage,” that was so much of his life before he committed his life to Jesus Christ.

Please pray for Danny, for healing and the comfort that only Christ can give.
