n the first part, Safa Mokry, an Iranian Seventh-day Adventist refugee in Canada, shares how the Lord has led his family. Editors.
I am called Iman, which, in Persian, means “faith.” Now I go by Safa Mokry. This is my family’s story.
I was born in a very religious Muslim family in the northwestern part of Iran. I always read the Qur’an searching for God, wanting a connection with Him, but I never felt God’s presence or peace in my life. In 1995, I graduated with an associate degree in mathematical physics and began to teach mathematics in Bukan. While there, I married Esther, and we had two sons, Diyar and Zhiar. Life was good except I still did not have the peace that I was searching for.
