Testimony

Syed Mazhar Shayan, once a devout Muslim studying to become a mosque priest, encountered Jesus Christ in 1977 after secretly studying the Bible. After conversion, he faced intense persecution and eventually attended Bible Seminary. In 1995, he responded to God's call to share the Gospel with Muslims across India and neighboring countries. Despite opposition, his ministry thrives, reaching Muslims through seeker conferences and contextual teachings. Thousands have come to faith in Christ, and Rev. Shayan continues to urge believers to pray for Muslim salvation, believing in the transformative power of prayer.
