  1. 15 min 2009 reported by prejudiced Muslims for converting to Christianity and Evangelizing Muslims in Iran a Farsi speaking country formerly Persia. One had a vision of Jesus and a conversion that sounds like John Wesley’s; furthermore, this also reminds me of John Calvin’s predestination of God deciding a person to be a Christian before they were born.

    These two were imprisoned from one prison to Evan prison with those against the Iranian govt even children there with their parents. 209 cells solitary. These two women converted persons to Christianity.

    Refused medical treatment for leaving Islam to Christianity.

  2. I lived in Esfahan, Iran for 5 1/2 years under the strong Western ally, the Shah. Churches were not only free to practice their faith, but were encouraqed in many ways. When Khomeini came into power, a formerly comfortable means of make a living became nearly impossible. A chicken, if you could catch it, costs more than $100. Price of heating oil, produced in Iran itself, went out of sight. Immediately following on the heels of the declaration of Sharia law, 21 young ladies (aged 18 to 22) were hanged for failing to recant their faith in Christ. I thought: “How many of our modern day ministers would have that courage and conviction?”
