In the middle of war, one man’s story is pointing not to violence, but to transformation.

Afshin Javid, who says he was once involved with Hezbollah and deeply committed to Islam, is now sharing a dramatic testimony of encountering Jesus, an experience he claims changed everything.

Speaking in an interview with CBN News, Javid recounted a moment from years ago while imprisoned in Malaysia.

According to his account, while praying in jail, he suddenly saw a man “whose being shone like light.” Overwhelmed, he said he felt a deep awareness of his own guilt and cried out for forgiveness.

What happened next, he says, marked the turning point of his life.
“He touched me and said, ‘I forgive you,’” Javid recalled.

Javid claims the figure then identified Himself with words Christians associate with Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” He says when he asked the name, the answer was “Jesus Christ.”

Since that moment, Javid says he left his former path and now leads a ministry focused on reconciliation and peace, including efforts to build bridges between Persians and Jewish communities.

During the recent Israel conflict that began with the October 7, 2023 attacks, Javid found himself in the region and publicly expressed grief over the violence. He met with victims’ families, offered prayers, and called for unity rather than hatred.

His message today is strikingly different from his past:
“No one should celebrate when one of the sons of Abraham is killing another.”

For many believers, stories like his echo the power of redemption, that no life is too far gone for grace. For others, it raises complex discussions about faith, conflict, and transformation.

But at the center of it all is a simple message:
Forgiveness is possible. And peace is still worth pursuing.

wow now this is truly the HAND of the LIVING GOD. NO one else can do this unless GOD is with them!!!!

Even behind bars, the power of Jesus is transforming lives. In 2024, God Behind Bars, a nationwide prison ministry founded by Jake Bodine, reports that hundreds of inmates gave their lives to Chris, including former Satanists, Wiccans, and long-term prisoners. One inmate, Daniel, once part of a satanic cult, said, “I’ve seen the glory of God… He is a warrior on your side.” The ministry reaches 2.3 million inmates, providing satellite campuses in prisons and the faith-based PandoApp with worship, sermons, and guidance. In May, 25 men from a South Dakota maximum-security prison were baptized, including a Wiccan leader and a life-sentenced inmate who made a spontaneous decision for Christ. Former inmate Shannon, once on the brink of su***de, prayed for a sign, received a care package, and now gives back to 1,000 women inmates. Beyond salvation, the ministry helps rebuild families, hosting events like “All is Bright” to reconnect incarcerated parents with their children and provide hope where it’s most needed. CEO Bodine says, “We will stop at nothing to ensure every inmate has access to the gospel, to heal, break cycles, and step into their calling as sons and daughters of the Most High.”

Meet Abdul Malik, a teacher from Kerala, India — who has been crossing the Kadalundi River by swimming to reach school… since 1994.

Every morning, with his books and clothes sealed in a plastic bag, he floats on a rubber tube and swims 15–30 minutes across the river. Then he changes and walks to class… like it’s just another normal day. 🐒📖

Why?

Because the alternative is a 12 km journey with multiple buses taking nearly 3 hours each way.

So he chose the river.

🌧️ During monsoons, the current turns fierce.
🌿 Debris floats past.
🐍 Even snakes appear in the water.

But he never stops.

In over 20 years, he has never been late. Not once. ⏰

His students call him “Tube Master” — and greet him every morning knowing exactly what it takes for him to be there. ❤️

But that’s not all…

He also teaches kids how to swim, organizes river clean-ups, and turns the very river he crosses into a classroom for life lessons. 🌱

By his own estimate, he’s swum nearly 700 km over the years.

And yet, he says:

“I don’t have big dreams… I just want to reach school on time and be a good role model.”

No fame. No excuses. No missed days.

Just a man… crossing a river every day…
so his students can cross into a better future. 💙

Pray for Bondi.

We grieve the lives lost in the Bondi attack and pray for those who have been injured, traumatised, and forever changed. We lift the families of the victims before God, asking for comfort, strength, and peace in the midst of unimaginable loss. We also thank the first responders and bystanders who acted with courage and selflessness to protect others.

With authorities confirming antisemitism as the motive, we stand with the Jewish community. We pray for Jewish Australians who are hurting or fearful tonight, and we reject antisemitism in all its forms. We pray that peace would overcome hatred, and that light would not be extinguished by darkness.

We ask God to be close to the broken-hearted, to bring healing where there is trauma and injury, and to bring peace to our nation.

As a church we want to stand and pray with all our Jewish brothers and sisters. May the Lord bring peace and justice to all.
