Welcome
How did
Jesus Christ changed my life?
My name is samuel jasson.I was born in central province of Afghanistan in the city
of Jaghori.I am 27 years old.
Aftar the return of the Russians
Afghanistan became a war zone between Islamic groups.Thousands of
the people killed during the war and most of them were the
Hazaras.In 1994 the formation of the Talaban and afterwards their
brutal acts brought Afghanistan on the edge of distruction. After
capturing the capital Kabul in 1996, I and my family left
Afghanistan and fled to Pakistan.
I couldn't returne to Afghanistan
due to Talaban rule.My family went to Iran but I didn't go because I
hated Iran due to its double standard polices about Afghanistan,
specially the Hazaras.Talaban Implemented islamic laws compeled the
people to live or leave Afghnistan.Hundreds of thousands of people
refuged to Pakistan and Iran.
The life as a
refugee in pakistan is also harsh for me. I worked at many places to
servive and I am still struggling.
In 1997 during
the month of Muharam-ul-haram which is a holy month for the
Shiat muslims, a shiat cleric Alama Jan Ali Shah Kazimi claimed
that one thousand (1000) families of Hazara cumminity
converted to christianity. He claimed due to a hazaragi
program saying the word of God on radio.After that
anouncement the anger amoung hazaras was worth telling.The people
became crazy to find those people.I myself became interested to know
about christianity.I searched for the radio program and I found
that.The programe Omid e Azra ( The hope for Hazaras ) just
changed my life.I became crazy to meet the people of lord Jesus
christ.
It was 1999 when
I first met the christians and it was not any incident, it was by
the will of lord Jesus christ.One of my friends who lived with me
got ill. We decided to admit him into the christian hospital.We
admitted him to the hospital.I was
thinking about christians and their attitude.Next day I went
to hospital early in the morning because I had to go to work after
looking my friend.Then a nurse came and asked us to come to the
church for morning prayers.We two people went to the church.When we
entered into the church, I cann't explain the feelings I had at that
time.We sat their and the Pastor started praying.I couldn't
understand him but the other man who went with me to the church
could understand urdu.He told me that the Pastor was reading the
holy book of bible.At last the Pastor prayed for all human beings
and for the peace of the world.The Pastor prayed for all the
patients admitted into the hospital that the Lord Jesus Christ might
give them health.
That was the time
that Jesus Christ entered into my heart and I decided to
convert to christianity. I decided to know
more about the Lord Jesus Christ,christianity and the bible.I wrote
a letter to the director of the Hazaragi Radio Program Omid e
Azra ( The Hope for Hazaras ) " Hussain Anderyas ". He send me
many booklets to read about Jesus Christ,christianity and the
bible.
Now I have gotten
the persian bible and various christian books from internet. The
internet makes very easy to read christian books and articals about
christianity.I always search for christian websites to read useful
books and articals.Now I am working to preach christianity amoung my
friends and I have given two bibles ( The new Testament ) to my
friends which I have printed from internet.The process of preaching
is very slow because it is very dangerous to live and preach the
word of God in this society, who kills the people in the name
to islam.Whether the Shia or Sunni muslims, they lose their
tolerance against the other religions.
And I just want
you to pray that I say the word of God.
God Bless us
all.
An Afghan
Christian.
