Founder — Iran Alive Ministries

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. Dr. Shariat founded Iran Alive Ministries in 2001, which utilizes Satellite TV to reach the millions of lost and broken people in Iran and the rest of the Middle East. Today, it broadcasts the Gospel 24/7 from Dallas to Iran & the Middle East, trusting the Lord to transform a nation, which is responding to the Gospel unlike any other time in history. Dr. Shariat is also passionate about serving Americans by providing inside information about Iran and how it impacts the US.
