JERUSALEM, Israel – Christians on every continent can share stories of persecution and brutality, but few governments have a more alarming reputation for their treatment of Christians than Iran.

Marziyeh Amirizadeh is a remarkable Iranian Christian woman who was sentenced to death, and endured torture and incarceration in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison. Time and again, she stood up to the authorities, all the while meditating on God's word and growing in her faith while suffering the loss of loved ones.

Marzi, as she is known, eventually escaped Iran and started a new life in the U.S. Today, she travels the world sharing her inspiring story of faith in the face of persecution, and she acts as an advocate for the Iranian people's freedom.

  • Dear Lady, What a Witness for the Lord ! The joy, the softness on her Beautiful face ! ❤
  • @Loveandserve
    She has become a true Christian, religious backgrounds don’t matter. Her testimony is so powerful, May God use her to save many more souls.
  • @memp9786
    The things we as Americans take for granted…🤦🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 This testimony was sooo heartbreaking & convicting because I feel as American Christians, we live so freely & do comfortably in our beliefs with no real consequences, yet we don’t take the opportunity to evangelize & worship regularly. Yet, there are many people in other countries who literally risk their lives to worship God & share the gospel, risking everything! This is so compelling😢😢😢
  • @bonniebirkey3107
    In tears listening to this dear brave woman.😢 "They loved their lives not unto death!" Rev. 12:11
  • @trixietru
    What a lovely lady. Her face glows with goodness and the love of Christ.
  • I was so shaken by the testimony of this woman. I was so hot by the weakness of my faith. I am challenged to draw near to God and cry out to Him for His strength.
  • This Lady is so beautiful and good. She must be protected at all cost. Praying for her.

    I am a quiet Christian , but resolute in my belief. On the day I buried my Father, whilst I was curled up in bed at night, trying to make sense of his early passing, my feet were cold, and I decided to go and get an extra blanket to keep me warm . At that instant my feet were warmed , not a heat, but by a warmth that made me feel secure and reassured that my Father was not gone, but had transferred to the next phase. I have only previously related this experience to my sister, no one else. Listening to this women describe her experience has made me smile , and fill my heart with peace, love , and a resolve that cannot be defeated ...!
  • @pmarkhill519
    With the horrendous experiences this precious woman has endured, it’s a miracle she is still sane. God blessings! 🖖🏽💖
  • @Repentance79
    "You are just a vessel in God's hands" That made me cry instantly❤
  • @Persephoniqua
    Absolutely wonderful. I will pray to be brave and bold in my faith like her.
  • @RobRuffMusic
    The moment you think your strong in your faith and then you stumble across this interview with this incredible woman and get immediately humbled and realize that your not as strong in your faith as you thought....
  • @user-ow4gd7nr4p
    A true first century Christian. Makes me weep for all that she has suffered & how fortunate we are here in the west. What an example !! God bless her & keep her. 🙏❤️
  • @rodolfosoriano5960
