But I’m doing it with Jesus, and that makes all the difference.

He’s still transforming me, still teaching me, still revealing new layers of his love and grace, still writing my story in ways I can’t predict or control.

And I’m learning to trust that whatever he writes next will be good, even if it’s hard.

Because he’s proven he can be trusted.

He’s proven he’s faithful.

He’s proven he’s worth following even when the path leads through valleys and darkness.

My family is scattered now.

My mother still in Thran seeking Jesus in secret.

My father still resistant.

But I pray for him daily.

Raza in the middle of his own journey becoming someone new.

Me here thousands of miles away connected to them by love that transcends distance and by a God who sees all of us and is working in all of us.

I don’t know what comes next.

I don’t know if I’ll ever see my mother again in this life.

I don’t know if Raza will come to full faith or if he’ll stop short.

I don’t know if my father will ever soften.

I don’t know if Iran will ever be safe for me again.

I don’t know how long I’ll keep sharing this testimony or what God will ask me to do after this.

But I know he’s good.

I know he’s faithful.

I know he’s with me.

And I know that whatever comes next, it will be worth it because he’s worth it.

He’s always worth it.

So this is my testimony, my story of how a young woman in Thrron suffocating in religious emptiness found Jesus and found freedom.

How she faced imprisonment and death rather than deny him.

How her brother’s betrayal became part of his redemption.

How her suffering became other people’s salvation.

How God took the darkest circumstances and used them to shine his brightest light.

This is my story.

But really, it’s his story.

Always his story.

And maybe it could be your story, too.

If you let him in, if you say yes to his call, if you’re willing to exchange everything you have for everything he is, if you’re willing to trust that he’s worth the cost.

I’m here to tell you he is.

I’ve paid the cost.

I’ve walked the valley.

I’ve faced the darkness.

And I’m here on the other side telling you that every moment of suffering was worth it to know him, to be known by him, to be loved by him, to be his.

Jesus is real.

He’s alive.

He’s calling you.

And if you respond, if you follow him wherever he leads, you’ll discover what I discovered.

that he’s better than safety, better than comfort, better than anything this world offers, better than life itself.

Because he doesn’t just give life, he is life.

The only life that really matters.

The only life that lasts.

The only life that’s worth living.

This is what I came through everything to tell you.

This is why I survived.

This is my purpose now.

to point to him, to testify to his goodness, to invite you to know him the way I know him.

So I invite you now, whoever you are, whatever you believe, whatever you’re facing.

Come to him.

Just come.

He’s waiting.

He’s been waiting.

He’s calling your name just like he called mine.

Come and see that he’s real.

Come and find the freedom I found.

Come and discover that he’s worth everything they say he is.

Come to Jesus and let him change your life the way he changed mine.

This is my testimony.

This is my story.

This is my invitation to you.

Come and see.
