He was a young pastor in Iran.

He had unknowingly provoked the government,

and now Albert Aslan was being interrogated.

They took me to a room with a lot of drugs and syringes,

the smell of alcohol.

I tell you, it was scary,

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Tuesday, May 17, 2016.

Yesterday, we heard about the importance of living and ministering in complete dependence on the Holy Spirit.

And our guests on Revive Our Hearts over the next couple of days are a beautiful example of that very thing.

Their names are Albert and Sabrina Aslan.

Now, that name may sound familiar to readers of the Chronicles of Narnia. Aslan is the Turkish

word for lion. And as you listen these next two days, I think you'll see that the Holy Spirit

working in this couple has given them a lion-hearted passion to share the gospel of Christ

in some really difficult places.

I first met Sabrina Aslan two years ago at True Woman 14.

I'm Sabrina Aslan, and I'm coming from California, but originally from Iran.

I was born in Tehran, the capital city of Iran.

It wasn't hard to see that behind her modest, soft-spoken demeanor was a woman who was courageously following God's calling on her life for such a time as this.

It turned out that Sabrina is a faithful listener of Revive Our Hearts.

Yeah, I always consider and try to always remind myself

this sentence from Nancy that whatever, whatever is making you closer to God is a blessing.
