During our earthquake relief mission in Adıyaman, we met Fatih, a Kurdish man from an Alevi religious background who became a dear friend of our team.
Fatih generously helped us with our mobile kitchen and laundry facilities, serving alongside our volunteers and supporting our efforts to assist earthquake survivors.
As our friendship grew, he invited members of our team to explore the region with him, visiting local historical sites and the Euphrates River.
That night, Fatih had a remarkable dream.
In his dream, he was standing on one side of the Euphrates River, surrounded by darkness and overwhelmed by fear. On the opposite bank stood our Romanian team, surrounded by light, extraordinary peace, and beautiful music.
As fear intensified, Fatih began crying out for help. Our team waved to him, encouraging him to come across the river and join us. He wanted to reach us, but the river stood between us, and there was no way for him to cross.
Suddenly, a tall man dressed in white appeared and placed a wooden beam across the water, creating a bridge between the two sides of the river.
Fatih stepped onto the bridge and began walking toward us, leaving the darkness and fear behind and moving toward the light and peace he had seen on the other side.
As he was crossing the bridge, he woke up.
Deeply affected by this experience, Fatih shared his dream with our team. We had the opportunity to speak to him about Jesus Christ, explaining that we believed the man in white represented Jesus, who had opened a way for him to cross from darkness into light.
The bridge was a powerful picture of faith — an invitation to take a step toward Christ and discover the peace that only He can give.
For Fatih, this dream became a meaningful moment in his spiritual journey.
His testimony reminds us that God responds to those who sincerely seek Him and that He can reveal Himself to people regardless of their cultural or religious background.
What began as a humanitarian mission became an opportunity for friendship, spiritual discovery, and sharing the hope of the Gospel.
