Crossing borders and beliefs: a Bosnian civil war survivor’s conversion to Christ

from BYU-Idaho Radio · host BYU-Idaho Radio

Dejan Tahic was only 15 years old when his country was torn apart by war. His parents decided it would be safer for him and his sister to leave before the conflict worsened. Unfortunately, this led to Tahic and his sister living with their aunt in the enemy country of Serbia, and the boarder closing between them and their parents. From there, moving from refugee camp to refugee camp in Hungary. Eventually, Tahic found asylum in Canada where he also discovered The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hope, healing and peace were brought back into Tahic’s life through the teachings of Jesus Christ.
