Mia was invited to Dubai by a church, but upon arrival, unexpected incidents kept occurring. First, the church that invited her was closed down, she could only stay alone in the hotel. Then, she encountered problems with her credit card and room key suddenly malfunctioned. Despite having prepared artwork cards in advance, she felt helpless and unable to do anything at that moment.

Mia shared her struggles with a friend, who in turn encouraged her by saying that if it were her, she would go directly to the streets and bless people by giving out the artwork. Because once she did that, the enemy would surely be angry.

After hearing her friend’s encouragement, Mia regained her courage and took her artwork cards outside. On the street, she handed a card to two girls. The card featured a rose, along with the creation date. The two girls noticed that the creation date coincided with their birthdays. Then, while they were looking at the card, Mia told them that they were as beautiful as roses in Jesus’ eyes. As they listened, tears filled their eyes, and in that moment, Mia knew they had encountered Jesus. Even better, one of the girls accepted Jesus right then and there!
