TVC Responsibilities:
I help our church discover their unique role in the Great Commission, whether going, sending, giving, welcoming, or praying. I equip potential future missionaries to discern a call to the nations and to thrive on the field. I train our church to share the gospel with their lost family members, friends, and neighbors.
When and how did the Lord save you?
I grew up in an unbelieving home with parents who moved from their home country of Iran to the United States. I spent most of my life identifying as an atheist, although I was functionally agnostic. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school, after moving from New Jersey to Texas, that I began to seriously consider the existence of God and the existential questions of life. After months of wrestling, I asked my mom to take me to church. She kindly responded, saying she would drop me off but would not go with me to church. I was too afraid to go alone. But God, in His kindness, knowing my fearful frame in the flesh, sought me out through a friend who invited me to a Bible study just two weeks later. I remember explicitly thinking, If God exists, how kind that He would make a way for me to hear about Him. That night, I heard that Jesus came to seek and save the lost. and that all things were made through Him and for Him. After hearing the gospel, I believed.
When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
After graduating from Texas A&M in 2020, I had a short stay in D.C. discerning what my next steps were post-grad, and then I made my way over to TVC.
