description: Born and raised in Muslim Turkey Derya Little wandered far and wide in search of her true home. After her parents' divorce she rejected her family's Islamic faith and became an atheist. During her stormy adolescence she tried to convince a Christian missionary that there is no God but was converted to Christ instead.Her winding path through the riddles of God was not over however. While attending a Turkish university and serving as a Christian youth minister Derya began to compare the teachings of Protestantism and Catholicism and during her doctoral studies in England she entered the Catholic Church. Ultimately she ended up in the United States where she has become a citizen and has settled down to raise a family.Derya's story provides a window into both Islam and modernity. It shows that the grace and the mercy of God know no bounds. Rather the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ reaches souls in the most unlikely places.
