Daniel was a fundamentalist Muslim political leader in the 1980’s in Iran. He is now leading a conversation with the Muslim world about Jesus.

His passion is to share the light of Jesus by sharing his story and helping people to find Understanding and Freedom. The goal is to communicate this message in all the languages of the Muslim world

About Exodus from Darkness

Founded by Daniel in 2000, Exodus From Darkness is a specialized apologetics and evangelistic ministry encouraging all people to search for the best beliefs and values. Proclaiming that eternal confidence is found only in Jesus Christ.

Dr. Shayesteh was born into a Muslim family in Northern Iran. He found renewed faith in Islam during his university years and became involved in the widespread civil unrest (demonstrations and strikes) that led to the exile of the Shah (king of Iran). This opened the door for Ayatollah Khomeini to come to power leading an Islamic Fundamentalist Government.

Dr Shayesteh initially closely aligned himself with Ayatollah Khomeini's rise to power and became a radical Muslim leader and teacher of Islam. However, after falling out of favour with Khomeini's political group, he escaped to Turkey where he began an amazing journey to faith in Jesus Christ.

The Understanding and Freedom Project

The goal of this project is simple. We want people from Daniel’s own cultural and Muslim background to have easy access to Daniel’s testimony and teaching in their own language.
