Proselyte
A proselyte is a person who has changed from one opinion, religious belief, sect, or the like, to another; convert.
Lydia of Thyatira is considered the first European Christian proselyte.
A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. (Acts 16:14, NASB)
Note: This quilt of Lydia was made by Maria Elkins for the "Biblical Women of Faith" exhibit. The purple is indicative of her occupation as "a seller of purple fabrics".
