Confident In
Christ!
"For this reason I also suffer these things;
nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know
whom I have believed and am persuaded
that He is able to keep what I
have
committed to Him until that Day."
2 Timothy 1: 12
On December 3, 1990, thirteen-year-old
Rashin Soodmand’s life changed. It was the day
her father was executed by the Iranian government
for his faith in Christ. He was imprisoned many times,
suffering from physical and psychological torture
in
the process.
Yet he never stopped holding church services in their
basement. According to Rashin, her father once said,
“I am ready to go to prison again and, if
necessary, to
give my life.”
Although Rashin mourned for her
earthly father, she was comforted
by her Heavenly Father.
She recommitted to following Christ, attended
Bible
school in England, and traveled around Europe with
her husband to spread the Gospel. And today she
counsels women who have left Islam.
As Christians, we 'll all experience some form
of persecution. But when hardships come, do
not lose faith; place your confidence in Christ.
"When you are suffering most
God’s eyes are on you and
he cares deeply about you."
