Imagine fleeing your country from persecution, and being sailed across the oceans to Christmas Island only to be confined to a small room for three months? In this episode I get to chat with Farideh, who fled Iran with her husband and five year old daughter after her husband accepted Christ into his life.  They sailed to Christmas Island where they were held in a detention centre for three months and from there, went to Adelaide AUS to another detention centre for an additional three months. Farideh talks about the struggles she faced, like depression during these months. When they finally moved to Sydney, Farideh's husband took her to church, where she eventually made Christ her Saviour. Farideh also talks about the miracle of her second born daughter, Melody.
