Iranian Christian Convert Leads 1,500 Muslims to Christ in Sweden

An Iranian convert to Christianity who is now an ordained minister in the Church of Sweden says she has helped bring nearly 1,500 Muslims to Christ over the past five years.

Annahita Parsan told Fox News in a report on Wednesday that her life, which has undergone huge tribulations, is “completely different since coming to Jesus.” The minister said she was raised in a Muslim home in Iran and married at 16, though a couple of years later her husband was killed in a car accident. She had to fight for custody for her son, which she successfully won, and two years later was re-married to a man whose wife had died. Her second husband started beating her son, and although she wanted a divorce it was impossible for her to do because she was pregnant with a second child. Parsan, her daughter, and the rest of the family fled as refugees in 1984 in the wake of the Iran-Iraq conflict, but met great hardships, including spending a month in prison in Turkey because they did not have identification papers or passports.
