Our guest on today's episode has been called the "Billy Graham of Iran" by Joel Rosenberg. Dr. Hormoz Shariat grew up in a Muslim household in Iran, and found himself wondering "what does all this mean?" They recited the prayers day after day, yet there was no inward stirring. Hormoz got a bitter taste of what the Islamic religion is capable of by a government that embraces it as its official religion when his brother was murdered by the regime two years after being jailed for what would be regarded as a misdemeanor crime in America.Rather than despising his brother's murderers, Hormoz used the power of his faith in Jesus to minister to his fellow Iranians through live broadcasts on the state-sponsored television stations.This interview will inspire you to take action in the face of overwhelming evil - and to acknowledge the true source of evil in this world, showing mercy toward those who are misled into doing Satan's deeds.We invite you to scroll down a bit and see how you can get a copy of Hormoz' book Iran's Great Awakening, and receive text updates on what is going on with the Iran Alive ministries!In this interview with Hormoz, you'll learn:-Family life in Iran, and finding Jesus in an Islamic culture...06:10-The moment Hormoz found Jesus through "researching" Jesus...08:30-A janitor at Hormoz' wife's work leads both of them to Jesus, and saves their marriage...13:30-So many Muslims are indifferent to religion in general - but is a vibrant spiritual life...15:21-Hormoz answers the call to minister to Muslims...18:45-Why Hormoz loves Muslims, in spite of atrocities committed by the Islamic government of Iran...21:10-The "logical" reason Muslims are so resistant to Christianity...25:45-Incredible conversion stories and miracles witnessed in person by Dr. Hormoz...31:30-How Iran Alive is utilizing artificial intelligence as a ministry tool...42:16-How you can pray for Iran and Iran Alive Ministries...45:45-And much more...Resources mentioned:Iran Alive MinistriesText the word "Iran" to 85789 to opt-in to text updates from Iran AliveIran's Great Awakening, by Dr. Hormoz Shariat (Get a copy for free when you make a contribution to Iran Alive)About our guest:Dr. Hormoz Shariat is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries, which utilizes satellite TV to broadcast Christian programming to a potential audience of 130 million in Iran and the Middle East.
