Iranian student Amin Abbasi saw no reason to live. Abused as a child, crushed by poverty, he was ready to kill.
But he was given the Scriptures in his own language and was fascinated by Jesus. He surrendered his life to Christ. He is now being trained at Elam Ministries which operates the only residential Bible Training Centre in the world for Iranians. This is his testimony.
Childhood
I was born into a poor family in the south of Iran where the extended family lived together in one community. We lived in my grandfather's house, but one day there was a terrible row and we had to leave. We were homeless and had no money to rent even the cheapest accommodation, so my parents were forced to build a shelter from the rubbish of the city. Though my father was a tailor, we knew terrible poverty. We had virtually nothing to eat, only plain bread and dates which were very cheap. I was very thin and ill all the time.
