More Syrian Muslims are embracing Jesus and converting to Christianity after witnessing God's miracles, according to the Christian Aid Mission.

Christian Aid said despite the pervasive violence in the region, it has culled more stories of salvation, healing and conversion of Muslims to Christianity in war-torn Syria.

Many of these people or families have experienced the love of missionaries and witnessed God's miraculous healings, a ministry leader in Syria told Christian Aid, the Gospel Herald reported.

The director said his group comprises 21 people who continue to faithfully serve predominantly Muslim communities, providing medical care, shelter, food and spiritual guidance for those in need. Food is reportedly scarce in the country due to the ongoing conflict.

One Syrian mother who embraced Christ some years back, he said, had prayed to God to provide food for her family. While walking later that day she found some money on the path in front of her.

"She was so pleased that God had answered her prayer in such a creative way that she started jumping up and down with joy," the director said.

Another heartwarming story was that of a mother named Nivine who brought her paralysed, two-year-old daughter to a meeting of one of the ministry teams for prayer.

The mother was reportedly insistent on seeking prayers for her daughter despite the director's warning that they pray in the name of Jesus.

Nivine accepted Christ wholeheartedly and even started coming to the meetings along with her paralysed daughter, he said.

"About two weeks later, when Nivine was worshiping during a meeting with her daughter next to her, she noticed that the girl's hands were moving."

Another Muslim named Amad who heard about the healing place in his town also brought his son, who was then suffering from a "worsening skin disease." The believers prayed for him and the next day, the child woke up with clear skin.

"It was undeniably a miracle. The whole family has come to believe in the Lord, and they want to be baptised," said the director.

The ministry leader who could not be identified for safety reasons said many more Muslims are drawn to Christian communities after hearing stories of miraculous healings.

He told the organisation that stories about faith and healing continue to be revealed. Some of the Christian converts even share them openly despite the hardship and possible persecution.

Currently, he said the most crucial needs of the people in their area are medicines, medical equipment, food, and other commodities.

Money is needed to take care of the urgent medical cost for illnesses and transport cost, he likewise said, adding that around 13.5 million Syrians remain in need of care.
