A voice in the shower

 In 'God's Love Compels Us', Mack Stiles tells the story of Nastaran:

Nastaran is a good friend and colleague in ministry.  She's an Iranian who grew up in Tehran.  At seventeen, she was a good Muslim girl: she had never seen a Bible, never sung a hymn, and never been inside a church.  But one day, as she was taking a shower, she heard a voice say, "I am going to wash away your sin."

She didn't know who that was, so she went to the mosque and asked her Iman about the voice.  Her Iman said, "that was Jesus, he is the only prophet who talks that way.  Nastaran said, "Thank you,", and went home.  Not long after this, a woman came to Nastaran with the message of the gospel.  Nastaran was ready to hear, and received it with joy.  So started an amazing journey of faith and ministry, along with her husband, Yuna.'
