Hormoz Shariat

Dr. Hormoz Shariat, a former Muslim and founder of a ministry outreach to Iranians, shares his transformative journey from Islam to Christianity. He discusses how reading the Quran and Bible led him to faith, emphasizing the compelling teachings of Jesus. Hormoz reveals the miraculous stories of conversions in Iran, often sparked by dreams and media outreach. He highlights the barriers Iranians face in embracing Christianity, citing a rising spiritual hunger and the impact of personal testimonies. Revival, he believes, is genuinely underway in Iran.

Hormoz Shariat once chanted "Death to America!" in the streets of Tehran, Iran, but after doubts crept into his heart about Islam he was forced to reckon with what he truly believed about God. His conclusions and ensuing actions, would eventually lead the Iranian government to branding him as an enemy of the state.
