Former Hezbollah Fighter Recalls Encounter with Jesus: 'God Didn't Design Us to Hate'


In early October, Afshin Javid was visiting Israel with his ministry Cyrus Call, which promotes friendship between Persians and Jews. But like millions of others, he found himself in the middle of a war when Hamas launched a bloody attack on Oct. 7. As a former Hezbollah fighter, Afshin himself is no stranger to violence. He sat down with CBN News to tell his story. "I was on my way to the United States to convert Christians to Islam, and I had 30 illegal passports at that time. I was arrested and put in jail in Malaysia. I was a dedicated Muslim who not only prayed the prayers, but I read the Koran once every ten days cover to cover. So I was very dedicated in my time in jail," Javid said. Read the full story from CBN News: https://www2.cbn.com/news/israel/god-... CBN News.
