S2 1: How God Saved Me from Execution with Sayeh Sparr

Sayeh was a little girl when the Iranian Revolution in the 1970s took place. With her father being a high-ranking official in the Iranian government, Sayeh's mother recognized that their family was in danger of being harmed and they fled to America. Sayeh shares the many miracles that led to them being able to flee Iran and how she came to know Jesus. Sayeh is currently in the Colson Fellows program and she shares with us about the tremendous impact it is having on her life.
