To the Muslim world, Medina is sacred, second only to Mecca. Each year, millions come here on pilgrimage, seeking peace and spiritual renewal. The streets fill with travelers dressed in white, their voices lifted in prayer toward a god they hope will see their devotion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"1098\">Yet beneath the surface, hearts are beginning to stir. More and more <strong data-start=\"815\" data-end=\"849\">Saudis are quietly questioning<\/strong>, wondering if there is more to life and faith than rules and ritual. Through <strong data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"944\">digital media<\/strong>, encounters abroad, and the bold, gentle witness of believers within our nation, many are discovering the love of <strong data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1068\">Jesus<\/strong> \u2014 the true Prince of Peace.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1595\">Our country is changing. The <strong data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1154\">Crown Prince\u2019s vision<\/strong> of modernization has opened small spaces of freedom and connection. I believe God is using this moment to prepare something greater. Though this land once forbade all other faiths, the Gospel is finding its way into hearts \u2014 unseen but unstoppable. We, the small but growing Church, believe that one day, the same ground where Islam was born will see a <strong data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1521\">new birth<\/strong> \u2014 a movement of
