He recently told CBN News about his upbringing and his eventual decision to flee Iran for the US.

"When I was age 8, my dad took me to the mosque, so I start learning about Islam because of my dad," he said, noting his father, who has since become a Christian, was once a devout Muslim. "He took me to there because, in Iran, [the] only religion you can practice is Islam."

By age 13, Ahmadi was memorizing the Koran. He eventually earned a degree in survey engineering—and became one of the top engineers in the country. With this position came prestige and a life he loved.

But that eventually came to an end.

Ahmadi worked at a petrochemical factory and came under the Iranian government's crosshairs after reportedly witnessing a secretive government installation. Suddenly, he was being investigated, and interrogated, and asked if he had a connection with Israel or America.

"We said, 'No, no, no. I have nothing to do with them,'" he recalled, noting he soon was warned that he would be killed if he didn't flee the nation. "I couldn't say 'Bye' to my family, my mom and my dad, and this was hardest part of my life."

Ahmadi continued, "I had to escape illegally from Iran because, if I go through the border, they would arrest me. So there was a wintertime in our area ... There's a lot of snow. So I had to pass the mountain between Iran and Turkey border."... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
