IRAN ALIVE - a podcast by Bruce Davis

 

The fastest growing Christian Community in the world?  Iran.  Second?  Afghanistan.  Surprised?  Me too, but not after hearing Hormoz.  His passion for his people, faith in what God can do and a courage to follow where God is directing has been part of the explosive growth going on inside one of the most well know Muslim countries in the world.  You’ll hear the passion in his voice and his infectious belief, which God has used to bring a light to a world in darkness.

Dr. Hormoz Shariat was born into a Muslim family in Iran and came to the US after the Islamic Revolution of 1979. He came to Christ while earning his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence at USC in 1980.  

In 1987, he planted a church in San Jose, CA. With hundreds of Muslim converts, it still remains one of the largest churches of its kind in the US.

In 2001, Dr. Hormoz followed the Lord’s leading and founded Iran Alive Ministries, which utilizes Satellite TV to reach the millions of lost and broken people in Iran and the rest of the Middle East. Today, we broadcast the Gospel 24/7 from our studio in Dallas to Iran and the Middle East, trusting the Lord to use us to transform a nation, which is responding to the Gospel unlike any other time in history.  

His passion for Muslims stems in part because of the murder of his brother, Hamraz, who was arrested in Iran at the young age of 16 on a minor political charge.  After 2 years in jail, he was executed by firing squad. God showed me the best way to respond to this tragedy was to dedicate my life to loving Muslims and sharing the Gospel with as many of them as possible.

Dr. Hormoz is also passionate about serving Americans by providing inside information about Iran and how it impacts the US. This is information you will not hear in the mainstream media!  He strives to help us make sense of current events in the Middle East from both a Christian and a former Muslim perspective.  He endeavors to help us understand Islam and the reasons behind the actions of Muslims in Iran.  By pairing his own experience with stories and testimonies from Persians who are currently living in Iran, Dr. Hormoz will encourage, inspire, and surprise listeners with information about the Iran you may not know existed.
