| Posted: 25 Mar 2013 12:36 PM PDT Throughout the month of March, we will be posting daily about Chinese Muslims, the prayer focus for our upcoming Secret Church gathering. We invite you to learn about Chinese Muslims and pray with us for God's glory to be made known among them. If you would like to read other posts in this blog series, you can find them here. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28, ESV)  Photo Courtesy of Pray for the Hui Year-round Mai-er-yan can be found sometimes knitting, chatting to friends, or selling some embroidery or ornamental souvenir to a tourist passing by her little shop. She and her husband rely on their business to send their two children to the Han schools, where the educational level is better than that of the local Hui schools. A few years ago, Mai-er-yan met her first Christian foreign friend. Since then a number of Christian families and singles have moved to her area. They visit and chat with her regularly. Around two years ago, Mai-er-yan had a dream in which she saw two of those friends and a third person, whom she recognized as Jesus. She told those two friends about her dream, and they gladly took this long-awaited opportunity to clearly explain the gospel to her. A week later she rang one of them to say that she was not able to turn her back on her heritage, her culture, and her family in order to follow Jesus. "Please don't expect me to become a Christian," she said. The Hui recognize that God can speak through dreams and other forms of supernatural revelation because Mohammed received the words of the Qur'an while in a trance. Mai-er-yan is just one of the many Hui to whom God has given dreams of Jesus, and like her, few of the others have turned from Islam to follow Jesus after one or two such dreams. Most Muslims who become Christians have had numerous supernatural encounters with God before finally surrendering to His lordship in their lives. Workers need great perseverance and faith to continue reaching out to the Hui because it often takes many months for them to completely accept Jesus. PLEASE PRAY
