Only a week after a Christian ministry that works in the Middle East reported a miracle – a storm that protected its members and other Christians at a baptismal service from Islamic militants – the organization is announcing plans for more baptismal services.

"They need Bibles, but most of these locations are in highly restrictive [nations]," the group explains. "By God's grace, we distribute Bibles free of cost and establish house churches. … We have several gospel teams and voluntary ministers in the Middle East and some other countries in Asia and Africa."
It was about a week ago when the group reported its "miracle."
The group said 24 Muslim converts were baptized near the Arabian Sea.
Pastor Paul Ciniraj worked with the new converts in an undisclosed location near the Arabian Sea, praying and fasting for three days before the baptism ceremony for the new believers.

There were about 50 at the event, but just as they boarded a bus to return, "some militants reached behind us by three or more cars and started shooting with guns towards us," one participant said.
Suddenly, with the attackers in hot pursuit, a giant dust storm formed just behind the bus.
"At first we were all afraid of seeing the dust storm," said Rizwan. "We thought we may not be able to go beyond and will be held by the militants. But, Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord again and again! We all felt that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared upon the dust storm as a Mighty and Wonderful Man showing His protecting and lovely hands towards us with a sweet smile. Jesus saved us. He Himself blocked the road of militants in the form of a dust storm."

Now Bibles For Mideast says new converts are being baptized despite the vigilance of "terrorists, militants and police."
"May the power of the Highest overshadow all of the Baptists, baptizers, attendees and other believers and seekers; May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ zeal them by HIS Precious Victorious Life giving Blood, shed on Calvary for the salvation of mankind; May the power of the Holy Spirit cover them all with His Mighty flame; May our Lord be with them and use them as His witness to many, especially for the Muslim world," the organization said.
