Why Invite Daniel Shayesteh and Janet Shay?
Daniel Shayesteh and Janet Shay offer powerful, firsthand insight into the transformative power of the gospel. From lives shaped by persecution, revolution, and escape, to a bold mission of evangelism and discipleship, their testimonies equip believers with greater understanding, compassion, and courage to reach the nations—beginning right where they are. Their unique perspectives will challenge and inspire your community to love boldly, live purposefully, and proclaim Christ with wisdom and grace.
Daniel brings a powerful and unique perspective to any church or conference. Once a teacher of Islamic philosophy, a high-ranking member of the Iranian Revolutionary Army, and a Muslim fundamentalist leader during the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Daniel now passionately proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ. His remarkable journey from radical Islam to Christ fuels his mission to help believers understand and compassionately engage with Muslims and those of other worldviews.
Inviting Daniel to speak will challenge and equip your church to confidently and lovingly share the truth of Jesus in a world often marked by fear, division, and misunderstanding. His ministry, Exodus from Darkness, seeks to awaken the church to the uniqueness of Christ and the urgency of reaching Muslims with the gospel. Through his story and insight, your community will be encouraged to live boldly as salt and light, fulfilling God’s call to see His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
Janet offers a powerful, firsthand testimony of God’s redemption, having escaped persecution in Iran and found new life in Christ. Her unique perspective—shaped by her experiences under an oppressive regime and her background in education, business, and media—makes her an impactful voice for today’s Church.
Janet challenges and equips believers to live boldly for Jesus and to reach those of different cultures and faiths with love and courage. Her message of hope, freedom, and purpose will deeply encourage and inspire your congregation or conference audience.
