as gone from, "It is enough to just believe in God," to accepting Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior.

attend and has since committed her life to Christ and to Christian
service.
- M works here in the US. The pastor of
Emmanuel Persian church helped him with some paperwork. He was

heard the gospel message and received Christ as savior. It is amazing
