Ex Muslim girls , give-away 20,000 Bibles in Tehran , Iran: Testimony

so as you can see everyone's really excited to  have you here tonight tell tell us how you became   Christians well first of all I would like to thank  you for inviting us to the church and giving us   this great opportunity to share our story it's  really an honor and blessing to be here and be   heard that many of you most of you were praying  for us and supporting us when we were in prison   and it's really an honor to meet you in person and  thank you we really appreciate for your support   actually it's almost 15 years that I converted  to Christianity and from my childhood I always   loved God and I did many researches about him but  because I was born into a Muslim family Muslim   country and the Sharia law could an answer to my  questions and I had many questions and because the   image that Islam give Muslims it's about God is  one who rule over the human race and punish them   for the slightest sins and in Islam it's more it's  all about the punishment and I had many questions   for example why I had to speak to my god in Arabic  instead of my native language Farsi doesn't this   God cannot understand my mother time why should  they pray to him as if he is a great leader or   ruler over me and I had many questions like this  and I was asking in my school everywhere but I   couldn't get a right answer and but despite all  these reservations and all these questions I still   did my best to follow my religious duties because  I thought I may be wrong and the truth will show   itself to me one day in the future through Islamic  rules and that's why I prayed namaz for two years   without fail I used to read Quran but I can  say this type of prayer and worshipping were   not making me feeling closer to my god on the  contrary they were distancing me further from   him as they had become a routine action that  I was forced to do not I wanted to do and for   the first time I was around 17 that God spoke to  me through one of my dream in that dream our God   revealed the real face of Muslim and Islam to me  and also he revealed his true love to me through   white horse unfortunately I can't share all the  details you can read in the book because of the   time after that dream I decided to put aside my  religion duties and came to the conclusion that   the most important part of being a believer is  just my heart then I began to speak to my God   in the way of a relationship between a father and  a child by my language Farsi and one day I heard   from one of my friend about Jesus that Jesus is  the Son of God who has come to this earth for   freedom from their sins for the first time when I  heard about Jesus I became very curious because I   hadn't heard anything like that about Jesus I  used to think he was also another prophet as   he had been introduced to us in our textbooks at  school so I told myself how do I know Jesus is the   truth maybe I need to do some research about other  religions and I started doing research about other   religions but after a while I became so tired and  just I knelt and prayed and asked God to show me   the truth and I told him if Jesus God if Jesus is  the truth you must guide me to the right path and   save me from being misguided and after these  prayers some miracles happen to my life I had   other dreams for example one of the miracles  I have for the first time when I attended in   the church in Iran I had a bad disease and jesus  healed me and also I I had a experience of I had   this fearing an experience of baptizing by Holy  Spirit in that day it was powerful the power of   Holy Spirit on me was so powerful and and I could  see Jesus in front of me for a few seconds he was   standing next to a large throne which was covering  with shining gold and at that time suddenly all my   doubts disappeared and I felt that God had removed  the curtain before my eyes and I dedicated that's   why I dedicated whole my life to Jesus and that's  why I tell people you know no one had forced me   into anything or hypnotized me no one had teaching  me about Christianity and I met with Jesus and I   learned how to live with Jesus how to walk with  Him and he was with me every day even without   going to a church I learned how to live with Jesus  and I was in love with him and because I tasted   his love and then I had this passion to share  this with other people with my family members my   friends and praise God after me except my dad all  my family members are converted to Christianity to praise the Lord it has been also 15 years then I  converted to Christianity at that time we didn't   know each other it's just now nine years that  we're friends and we know each other I also you   know remember when I was a young child I had  so much passion for knowing the truths about   God and for having relationship with God but as  you know I'm from Iran and Islamic country where   religious laws and regulations always stop people  from knowing the truth and it starts exactly from   childhood for example at the schools students were  forced to read the Quran or other Islamic books or   pray namaz that is in Arabic and all I was told  about Jesus in that young age was that he was   only a prophet of love and peace nothing more  but I remember I had many questions in my mind   such as what is the truth who is this God and how  I can have a close relationship with him you know   I believe many Iranians have these struggles and  have these questions in their minds and I remember   I also had many questions about Quran and Islam  which made me very confused and frustrated but I   was so eager to find the truth so I try to study  and do some researches on other religions on my   own I read Persian translation of the Quran and  some other books of other religions sometimes I   prayed namaz Islamic prayer and also I attended  meetings of other religions from time to time   but none of those the first could really help me  and quench my thirst I remember when I was 17 I   was completely disappointed and I thought it would  be better not to follow any religion because I was   tired of the meaningless rules which were just  about religious laws and I was tired of the God   was so far away and I couldn't hear his voice it  was just me talking to him but I couldn't hear him   I couldn't touch him so eventually I stopped doing  researches completely just whenever I was alone   especially at nights I looked up into the sky and  asked God to reveal himself to me and speak to me   you know as Bible says seek and you will find  I also believe in we are looking for the truth   and when we want to have a close relationship  with God he has many different ways to reveal   himself to us and to reveal the truth to us for me  one day I've received a little booklet titled his   name is wonderful it was a part of Book of Luke  and I received it from my sister and she told me   that she has received that booklet from a man of  the church near her University when she gave that   booklet to me she said read it but don't read  the last page because it's a conversion prayer   for those who wants to become a Christian although  she was not a prejudice or religious Muslim just   she had some doubts about the way that Bible  introduces Jesus as the Son of God I just took   the booklet from her I went to my room and I  started reading the booklet I can say you know   from the first page I could feel that my heart was  deeply moved I started crying because I could feel   the very presence of Jesus in my room and right  in front of me and while I was reading I felt   as if I had already known and heard of all those  words in the book and I just found my last one I   believe in that same day that I read that little  booklet I met with Jesus Christ and I always tell   people that Jesus was the person who delivered  and witness to me the good news of salvation even   before I had spoken to anyone about him or had  gone to a church he revealed his truth to me but   before that he had prepared my heart for accepting  that so after two or three hours being in my room   I felt that I had already known Christ and I just  found my last one and when I got to the last page   of the booklet I prayed the written prayer and I  gave my heart to Jesus without any doubt or second so you were both seventeen when you independently  when you were you became Christiansen and   immediately you had this passion didn't you to  to tell other people I think you mess it it's   kind of like a Bible College in in Turkey and  then you had this passion to go out and tell   people what did you do about that yes it was our  two thousand five that are we met each other in   Turkey for the first time for studying theology  courses and after finishing the theology courses   we decided to return to Iran because we both had  the same passion about our country our people even   though we knew that how much is dangerous to serve  the Lord the Lord in Iran but we did we decided   to return because we assured a little about our  testimony that we tasted the love of Christ and   we wanted to share this with our people and when  we returned to Iran for the first few months we   didn't have any idea what should we do and how we  can serve our Lord here especially as a woman and   we were praying for a few months and one day God  spoke to me through our Bible I was reading Bible   he told me and he showed me that Iran is like a  big land that there is no seed in this land and   he told me first you need plant some seed then  I will grow all these seeds by Holy Spirit and   also Maryam had a dream and we became sure that we  should evangelize Iranian people by distributing   Bibles because in Iran there is just a false and  distorted version of Weibull which called Barnabas   Weibull and in that way well it says after Jesus  Muhammad will come and Jesus was a prophet which   is not true and Iranian government's usually sell  this Bible in bookstores and that's why we decided   to put the right Bible in people's hand but at  that time we didn't have any Bible with us and   we just called our pastor he was in London the  director of Allah ministry and we asked him to   send thousands of New Testaments to Iran and it  wasn't easy for them because they had to find   an illegal way to smuggle all those New Testaments  to Iran and again we were praying for a few months   and praise God after a few months we could receive  those New Testaments and we have started our first   mission in Tehran the capital of Iran we bought  a map and we put it on the wall and we started   from the north of Tehran to the south you can see  the picture of the map in the book and usually at   night we carried about 114 New Testaments in our  backpack and visited one area in Tehran and put   them in the mailboxes and I remember sometimes  we had to walk for long hours about 8 9 hours in   order to cover all part of that area and nothing  happened to us and praise God after almost three   years we could disturb you to 20,000 new  testaments in all part of our Tehran and every day nothing happened to us and every day  we could see God's our presence with us we could   see his miracles that how he was with us how he  was protecting us there are some stories you can   read in the book that how God did many miracles  to protect us and its really a strengthen our   faiths because we could see his presence with  us and that's why I believe that when we trust   God when we ask God to use to use us as a tool  to send his message to other people God can do   amazing and impossible things to do each of us  it doesn't matter that we are alone it doesn't   matter that we are just two it doesn't matter that  we are weak it's all about God it's not about us   and we should just trust him and ask him to use  us and after this mission we heard from some of   our friends that some official announced it in  the parliament that a big Christian group started   distributing Bibles in Tehran and praise God they  didn't know is it's not a big Christian group is   just to girl with blue bag bag and praise God even  we got arrested they didn't know about this we we   believe that if they had known they would have  executed us immediately but I'm sure today they   know because they read the book and maybe they are  disappointed to release us after finishing this   first mission we started to house churches one of  them was among prostitutes and the other one among   our young people young people in our own apartment  it's another story that how God lead those people   to us especially prostitutes and also every day  we were evangelizing people whenever we went for   shopping doing our chores are eating at restaurant  we were talking to people and handing them a Bible   as a gift and as you know all these activities  are illegal in Iran because no one is allowed   to promote any religion accept Islam and that's  why some prejudiced Muslims they had found about   some of our activities and they reported about  us and Iranian government arrested us in 2009   tell us about that you were arrested what happened  it was in March 2009 one day in the morning Marci   received a phone call from an ax stranger he had  some questions about the car document and asked   her to go to the police station I remember we were  both suspicious about that phone call that she had   received because it had been months that we had  this a strange feeling that something bad would   happen we prayed and she went to the police  station I remember I was home it was in the   afternoon I was waiting for Marcia to return from  the police station and suddenly I heard the sound   of her with a few others behind the door and when  I looked through the peephole I saw her with three   guards standing there at that moment you know  my mind was in shock I wanted to do something I   wanted to hide our cell phones in order to protect  the names of those people who were coming to our   house searches or call someone and let them know  what was happening but I couldn't do anything I   couldn't make a right decision I just opened the  door let them in and they entered our apartment   they ransacked everywhere they took both of us  with all our belongings like Bibles Jesus movies   and everything else that they had discovered in  our apartment - the security police we had to stay   there for the whole first day we had long hours  of interrogation by our first interrogator and he   sent us to a dark and dirty cell in the basement  and threatened us - physical torture he told us   that you must give us all the information about  your friends your activities as Christians your   networks otherwise we will beat you until you warm  it blood you know in that day in that dark cell we   just hugged each other we said goodbye because we  thought it was our last day on earth and we were   so scared we were pale we couldn't even speak our  mouth was so dry we were not able to speak and the   only thing that we could do in those moment was  just praying for each other and I remember there   were times that we couldn't even pray in Farsi  our own language because we didn't know how to   pray we didn't know how to ask God to help us  and give us the power and in those moments we   would just pray in tongues and be really praised  God for this gift because we could we could feel   how the Holy Spirit was leading us in our prayers  and was strengthening us we always tell people   that without his presence we could understand  even one day in prison because it was only God's   grace God's power and his presence with us that  helped us stand that difficult condition and then   after the first day they transferred us to another  detention which was a small jail in the basement   again another detention was also a horrible place  we had to sleep on freezing and filthy floor with   no carpet it was in the winter and it was so cold  and I remember when we entered that detention we   were looking for something to cover ourselves  and to keep house ourselves warm and we could   just find some wet blankets strongly smelling of  urine we realized that there were many prostitutes   addicted and homeless women in that detention and  the guards would lock the doors from 8:00 at night   until morning and prisoners could not even use  restrooms that's why most of those blankets were   wet but we had to use them to keep ourselves warm  I can say for the first 14 days that we were in   that first detention we couldn't take a shower we  couldn't brush our teeth for four days we didn't   have anything to eat or drink we couldn't see  the light and physically we were under so much   pressure and we would just pray for our release  because we didn't want to be in that condition   but after a while when we when we could see God's  miracles and how he was using us as a tool to give   his message to other women in that detention we  became so encouraged and we realized that he had   a purpose and he had a plan for putting us in that  dark place so instead of praying for our release   he started to trust his plan we started to pray  for other women in that detention and we believe   he had great opportunities to share the message of  salvation with most of those women in that because   as we mentioned you know most people in Iran  men and women women are under so much pressure   because of this government and Islamic rules and  a specifically women are the group who are under   so much pressure because in Islam women have no  rights and most of those women in that detention   were so hopeless they didn't have any hope for  their future for their lives and that's why we   believe it was a great opportunity for us to talk  to them about Jesus I remember every day we could   gather in one cell we could share the gospel with  them we could pray for them and it was encouraging   to see that most of those women were so interested  in hearing about God's forgiveness in Jesus about   God's grace God's love because in Islam you don't  hear these things is all about punishment and we   could see that some of those women they would pray  loudly they would confess their sins they would   give their hearts to Jesus which was really a  miracle and we believe that for the first fourteen   days that we were in that detention we could  share the gospel with about 70 to 80 prostitutes   addicted and homeless women and we really praise  God for this great opportunity that he gave us   and then I think you had transferred to heaven  prison tell us about your time there yes after   our 14 days being in that detention that Miriam  explained the Iranian government transferred us   to F in prison in charges of apostasy blasphemy  anti-government and promoting Christianity I   can say I mean prison is notorious in Iran for  arresting raping torturing and executing executing   of many innocent people when we entered the F  in prison we became a surprise because we could   see there are many political prisoners they were  respectful and intellectuals like students lawyer   journalists doctors just because their beliefs was  against the Iranian government beliefs and also we   could see there are many children in that prison  and it was horrible to see that little children   those little children in that horrible place and  they had to stay there because of the crimes of   their mothers and the Iranian government didn't  care about their situation and also there were   other criminal like murder addicted prostitutes  and all these prisoners had to live in one place   and there is another building in Evin prison which  is very famous it called 209 it's the security   building there are many solitary cells in that  building about 1/2 meters and they usually send   political prisoners in that building for torturing  and interrogation they transferred us in that   building for 40 days and once a week we had a  very heavy interrogation by two interrogators   and most of the time we had to sit on a metal or  a chair blindfolded and answer to their questions   they tried to convince us that our we made the  wrong decision and we should deny our faith in   Jesus otherwise we would executed by hanging the  only voice that we could hear in that building was   the sounds of other prisoners whom were being  beaten and tortured and it was like a mental   torture for us because every day we expect them to  come to our cell and take us for torturing also in   Evin prison for almost eight months we were so  sick and we were suffering from some physical   problems and there were some doctors they refused  to treat they refused to give us medicine because   they were prejudiced Muslims they believe that if  you convert from Islam to any other religion your   infidel and dirty another thing about even prison  which is horrible its execution of prisoners we   never experienced such a thing in our lives for  example one day they came to the cell and took   some prisoners and put them in the solitary cell  and the day after that we would hear that they   executed them and those people were our friends we  were living with them and it was very painful for   all prisoners because all the prisoners were under  so much pressure and nobody could do anything they   also executed one of our best friends she was  only 28 years old she was a political prisoners   and she was fighting for women's right and they  executed them and her executions was very painful   for both of us and I believe that it was like  a sword in our hearts and still we can't forget   such a horrible thing but praise God despite all  these difficulties again in Evin prison we had   many great opportunity to share the message of  salvation with many prisoners and for the first   few months I remember there were some prisoners  they were prejudiced Muslims they called us dirty   Christian I mentioned earlier because they  believed that if you convert from Islam your   infidel and dirty but we try to show them who  Jesus is what his teachings are by our behaviors   rather than our words by respecting them by loving  them by praying for them and by helping them for   example there were some prisoners they couldn't  afford themselves to buy food they didn't have any   family and we try to help them and every day we  were praying for them we were crying with them and   because of all these behaviors and because of our  prayers they could see many miracles through our   prayers they could see the power of God and that's  why there were some prisoners they came to us and   they told us that we can see there is a difference  between our faith and your faith because every day   we are praying namaz but God doesn't answer to our  prayers but when we can see that whenever you pray   God answer to prayers immediately and that's why  they change they change their behaviors with us   and they started to listen to us to respect us  and also there were some gods they came to us   and they they asked us to pray for them and they  apologized because of their behaviors and it was   a miracle because they could see the power of God  through our prayers they could see his miracles   and we believed that we were more free inside the  prison to give the message of salvation to many   prisoners rather than outside the prison because  when we were free we had to pray and ask God to   lead our right person to us to talk but inside  the prison we could talk to anybody and one day   I heard I heard one of my interrogator talk to  me and he was very angry and he told me that I   heard that you're talking to prisoners about  Jesus and I told him yes of course we talk to   prisoners about Jesus because I believe that it's  not our fault it's your fault because you arrested   us and you put us in that prison and prisoners  are curious they ask us why you are here what is   your charge so we had to explain to them that why  we are here so it's not our fault it's your fault   and they were angry they were angry about this  but they couldn't do anything and that's why we   believe that even though the Iranian government  had tried to silence us by keeping us in that   prison but we had more opportunity to share the  message of salvation with many prisoners and also   we believe that the ebon prison and the detention  that maryam explained became our church because   before we got arrested we had a different view  about church that church is just a nice building   that we can attend we can worship God we can  enjoy our fellowship but later we understood   that no it's not true everywhere can be a church  even a dark and brutal place like even prison and really they were threatening you with  execution and saying that that they would   release you if you would renounce your faith  how did you find the strength not to enhance   your faith in that situation yes you know for the  nine months that we were in heaven prison we had   almost ten trials and in each of them our judges  threatened us to execution by hanging and we would   hear the same thing from our interrogators in that  security building that Mars explained 209 over and   over and I also remember that some some of these  judges told us that if you write just one sentence   that you convert from Christianity to Islam we  will release you immediately I can say that the   most important reason that we couldn't deny our  faith in Jesus when we were in prison was the   personal relationship that we had with him we just  shared our testimonies with you have we converted   to Christianity have been met with Jesus how we  tasted his love and we had seen many miracles in   our lives we believe we are not just followers of  religious rules and we hadn't just converted to a   Christian religion we are both in love with Jesus  because we tasted his love and that was the reason   that we gave her our hearts to Jesus and that  was the reason that when we were in prison we   couldn't deny him you know when we talk to  people when we evangelize people we always   try to encourage them to experience having  relationship with the person of Jesus Christ   not just follow some religious rules because  in our lives when we face difficulties when   persecution come to our lives the only thing that  can really help us to stand on our faith is there   it's the relationship that we have with Jesus  Christ not just following some some religions   or some religious rules and also if you read the  Bible Jesus himself in the Bible says if you wish   to follow me you must pick up your own cross and  follow me every day as followers of Jesus it was   very important for us to pass through this test  with victory and today we give all the glory to   God because as I mentioned earlier without his  presence without his power we could understand   even one day in prison and he was the one who gave  us this victory he was the he was the one who he   was this power to pass through these tests and  also we believe it was really an honor for both of   us to suffer for our faith in prison because the  sufferings that we had to endure during those nine   months in prison in comparison with what Jesus  did on the cross for our sins was really nothing and after 259 days they release you why do you  think they released him for the first few months   that we were in Evin prison we we didn't have any  connection with the world outside and we thought   that we completely forgotten because we were  not allowed to call our families but after a   few months when we call our sisters we heard that  many Christians from different parts of the world   are supporting us either by praying and sending  letters to prison which was so encouraging for   both of us by hearing that and we understood that  we are not alone instead we have a big Christian   family that they are supporting us and they are  standing with us in that in this death battle   and we believe that the most important reason that  we are free today we got released it's because of   God's grace and his power but the second reason we  believe that it's because of Christian support for   example when we were in that prison we heard from  some guards that every day we were receiving many   letters and they told us that every day you are  receiving about 50 letters and your letters are   more than our official letters and they were angry  about this but they couldn't do anything they   could see that there is a unity among Christian  and we are not alone and that's why they had   to change their behavior with us even though we  couldn't read those letters because they didn't   give us any of those letters to read but we heard  from some of those guards that some judges forced   them to open those letters to read those letters  to check what people has written for us and some   of them became curious about Jesus and they came  to us and asked some question about Jesus and for   example they asked what does it mean Jesus is  Shepherd and B we try to explain to them and we   understood that even though we couldn't read those  letters but God used those letters to send his   message to the guards to the judges and we really  praise God for this also Iranian government were   under so much pressure from some international  and influential organizations such as United   Nation Amnesty International and also there there  were other organization that they covered our news   like illa ministry like open doors and also be  heard that even Pope from Vatican send the letter   to Iranian government and asked for our release  and because of all these pressures the Iranian   government had to release us unlike their desires  because of the politics they wanted to show that   there is religious freedom in Iran which is not  true and as you know is still there are many   Christian who are in that prison and suffering for  their faith amazing amazing so since your release   what have you been doing we wrote a book about  our prison experiences captive in Iran captive in   Iran and we we ordered we thought lots of copies  of this but we sold out of it in the very first   service this morning every single copy went and  they were cues all the way up the staircase trying   to get hold of it how can someone here who wants  to get hold of this you can find it everywhere   online you can go to captive in Iran coms website  open doors website and like Amazon Barnes and   Nobles everywhere the book is available online  and also we are students now we are full-time   students we are studying international law in  order to be advocates for our people in Iran and also we are working on our second book which  will be just about women in Islam specifically   women in Iran be what we would like to show  how these Islamic rules destroy the lives of   women and you have a vision they need to see  Iran change just say what what that vision is   yes even though we don't live in our country  now but Iran is our country our home and we   we pray that one day our country became a  free country and people live in freedom and   students there are many students who are in  the jail instead of being in universities and   the women doesn't have equal rights with men  and we pray that one day students being in the   universities in instead of being in the jail  and women have equal rights with men we would   have a righteousness government but the main our  prayer our prayer is that to one day to see the   kingdom of God in our country and people can  worship Jesus in in freedom without any fear so we're very blessed to live in a country where  we can worship Jesus but we're really challenged   and inspired by your boldness what's your message  to us as a church here in in the West you know I   remember after nine months that we got released  the day that we were living F in prison we were   so happy we praised God for the victory that he  gave us but on the other hand we were not happy   because we had to leave our friends behind and we  knew that still there were many innocent women in   that dark place suffering only because of this  government because of these Islamic rules and we   believe today part of our hearts are still in  Evin prison with those people that's why when   we left ever in prison we promised ourselves and  we promised most of those women to be a voice for   them and to share their stories with the world  because as we mentioned earlier we believe that   God had a purpose and had a plan for putting us  in that dark place we had seen many injustice   in every in prison and that's why today we both  feel responsible because we believe that God had   put put this burden on our hearts and we feel  responsible for our people in Iran for those   people who do not have any voice today we are  living in America a free country like most of   you who are living in a free country England and  you know we always encourage people not to take   their freedom for granted because we believe that  the freedom that we have in these free countries   is really a blessing and valuable gift from God  and we must appreciate this freedom also we should   use this freedom in order to show our support for  our brothers and sisters in those countries that   people are on their persecution it's not just Iran  our country there are many Islamic countries like   Afghanistan Pakistan Syria Iraq every day we read  the news about you know persecution and what is   happening to Christians we believe that we need  to stand with those people and we need to show   our support for them there are many ways that  we can help them we always encourage people to   pray we know that most of you here we're praying  for us when we were in prison and it's really a   blessing and pleasure to be able to see your  faces and to thank you in person because you   know when we very impressed we could feel the  power of prayers there is power in our prayer   because we pray in Jesus name that's why we  would like to encourage you to pray and not   only for prisoners but also for their families  because sometimes it's even more difficult for   their families outside when they have someone  in prison and also there are many practical   ways that we can get involved we can show our  support by writing letters and sending them to   prison MAGIX just mentioned about the letters  how those letters made a huge difference for us   you never know who opens those letters you may be  an encouragement to your brothers and sisters in   Christ or you may send a message of salvation  to someone in prison like guards or judges so   we would like to encourage you to just pick one  name pick one prisoner and start writing letter   and sending them to prison you can sign petitions  you can talk to your governments politicians and   ask them to put pressure on governments like  Iran because we know about our government they   are so scared of publicity they care about public  opinion and we believe that these kind of supports   and you know these kinds of help can make a  huge difference for those people don't think   that you're just one person if you pray if you  write one letter cannot make a huge difference   we know this and we can promise you that you know  these small things can make a huge difference for   those people and in fact you can save lives of  those people who are in different prisons and   the easiest way you know I believe that we can  help those people is sharing this message with   your friends with your family members we pray that  you know when you leave this building today Holy   Spirit really leads you how you can support how  you can get involved for those people and for   showing your support for them we believe it's not  our responsibility to tell you how to get involved   but we feel this responsibility to encourage  you please get involved please support your   brothers and sisters because we believe if you  are part of this body if you are true believers   we need to show our support and we need to feel  responsible for them because as Bible says we are   all parts of one body if one part suffer every  part should suffer with it god bless you mmm one one final question all of us have our fears  that we face but but I doubt anybody here's had   to face the fear of being executed right away  and the kind of threats that you were under how   how do you cope with those kind of fears how  do you overcome your fears in that situation   you know usually people come to us and tell  us that you're courageous you're hero but we   believe that our we're just two ordinary women  and without God's power we couldn't endure even   one day in that prison Miriam explained that the  first day that we got arrested we were so scared   we were pale we couldn't talk and sometimes I  remember I felt physically I felt that how much   I was scared but I could see that the map their  words that come out of my amount was different   it was power in my words and I believe that it  it was because of our God's power and the Holy   Spirit really strengthened us during that time  as Jesus in Bible says that when you arrested   when you are in prison don't worry about what to  say because Holy Spirit will give you the words   and we really experience this in in the prison  and physically I mentioned that we bought us   were so scared but we believe that the only  thing that could help us it was Holy Spirit   and our prayers our faiths our relationship  with Jesus that Miriam explained about this you

I wouldn't want to call them morons for wanting to search for the truth but they're definitely misguided in finding these 'truths' in 2000 year old books written by superstitious flat-earthers. What a complete waste of a precious life!
