Summary

SummaryI grew up terrified by war sirens in Iran, but when we fled to Torino, my father’s Christmas Eve prayer before a church statue miraculously secured our visas. Arriving in Canada, I felt like a black sheepβ€”empty inside and on the brink of suicideβ€”until meeting Scott in high school. Drawn to his life and light, I eventually wept out to the one true God and, after hearing β€œIt’s now or never,” gave my life to Christ in a nearby forest. Despite family pain and exclusion at dinner tables, I found true belonging and wholeness in Jesus πŸ˜ŠπŸ™.

Growing up Muslim in Iran, Sohayla Courtin shocked her family when she announced that she had become a Christian following their immigration to Canada. She shares her story of leaving Islam with 100 Huntley Street’s Magdalene John.
