Safora has been a guiding light in my life, despite the miles between us. She lives in the UK, while I'm here in Isfahan, Iran, but she's taught me that true friendship knows no distance. We connected through Digital Strategies.

When my marriage faced challenges, especially with the struggles of infertility, Safora was my anchor in turbulent times. Our problems seemed unsolvable. My husband's family encouraged him to marry another wife to have a baby for him, and we didn't know where to turn.

Safora suggested the story of Hannah from the Bible, who desperately wanted a child. At first, I was unsure about taking her advice, but her encouragement to express my feelings and seek help gradually brought comfort. I started to explore the Bible and confided in her, finding strength in Safora's unwavering support.

Together, we prayed, and she helped me find my way. She encouraged me to pray in my own language, which was unfailing for me; I usually pray in Arabic, which is not my native language. She also invited me to call on Jesus, which became my turning point and changed my life.

Even as my husband and I faced challenges, Safora stood by me, offering comfort and solidarity. When doctors said having a child might not be possible, her constant presence gave me hope during my darkest times. Now, we joyfully pray and wait for God's will and grace in our lives, embracing our identity as God's children.

Safora isn't just a mentor to me; she's like family. In tough times, her unwavering support reminds me that I'm never alone in this journey called life.
