Her father wasn\u2019t the only martyr of the persecuted Iranian church that Rashin knew well. In this second part of our conversation, Rashin shares things she remembers about other martyrs she knew personally: Haik Hovsepian, who preached at her father\u2019s funeral; Mehdi Dibaj, who encouraged her to attend Bible school; and Pastor Mohammad \u201cRavanbakhsh\u201d Yusefi. To learn more about the current ministry activities of Rashin and her husband, Amir, visit the Torch Ministries web site. If you missed the first part of this conversation, listen here.
