In this extraordinary episode recorded live at The Forge Conference, Pastor Nathan Brown sits down with Azziz Azula for one of the most powerful testimonies we've ever featured. From a childhood of forced Islamic education and violence to becoming a hunted Special Forces interpreter, Azziz's story demonstrates God's sovereign hand working through the darkest circumstances.

At age 9, Azziz taught himself English using Iranian textbooks while other children played. This single decision would eventually position him to teach 800 Afghan students who would later serve as interpreters for U.S. forces after 9/11. But his service to America came at a devastating cost - rejection by his family, persecution by the Taliban, and ultimately a death sentence that forced him to cry out to the only name that could save him: Jesus Christ.

What You'll Discover:

✅ The violent reality of Islamic education in Afghanistan and its lasting impact

✅ How God used English lessons to prepare a nation for Gospel witness

✅ The prophetic dream that preceded a real-life Special Forces rescue operation

✅ Why Christian peace became the ultimate evidence that convinced a Muslim warrior

✅ How facing Taliban fighters with "Greater is He who is in me" became battlefield reality

✅ The continuing work of God among Afghan refugees and veterans

This testimony isn't just about one man's conversion - it's about how God weaves our faithful witness into His sovereign plan for nations. When American Special Forces operators lived out their faith, they planted seeds that would bloom in the most unlikely soil. When they returned to rescue their interpreter against all odds, they demonstrated the Gospel in action.
