I Shared the Gospel with a Muslim in a Bathroom Stall and He Wept | Dave VanVickle

Buckle up — this episode is packed with jaw-dropping stories of conversion that will restore your faith in God’s power and remind you that He is actively moving in the world right now.

Dave VanVickle is a Catholic lay evangelist who has spent decades sharing the Gospel in every setting imaginable — from airport bathroom stalls to living rooms, from airplane seats to underground mission fields. In this conversation with Chris, Dave shares some of the most remarkable stories of grace you’ve ever heard, including:

  • A devout Muslim man in the Chicago O’Hare airport who had been having dreams of a bloody man on a cross for a month — and followed Dave into a bathroom to ask him about Jesus
  • A missionary in Africa who drove a truck full of Bibles into the middle of nowhere at God’s direction, and watched hundreds of people emerge from the darkness one by one to receive them
  • A Muslim woman on a plane who, while meditating on her own god, witnessed a vision of that god bowing before the Christ child
  • A 16-year-old Muslim girl in Iraq who, after witnessing a Christian boy’s martyrdom at the hands of ISIS, gave her life to Jesus on the spot — and refused to deny Him even to save her own life
  • A trafficking survivor named Jane whose humanity was restored by the simple, unconditional love of Dave’s family — especially his daughter Louisa

But this episode isn’t just about extraordinary miracles. It’s a challenge and a call: You can be used by God. All it takes is a willingness to pray, “Lord, if you open a door, I’ll walk through it” — and the courage to say something, even imperfectly.

Dave and Chris also unpack how to share the core Gospel message simply and confidently, how to invite someone to personally encounter Jesus (not just know about Him), and why Catholics need to stop skipping the first step of evangelization.

The episode closes with a powerful prayer of surrender that you — and anyone you know — can pray right now.
