A Night with Rev. Dr. Sasan Tavassoli

Come hear about the amazing things God is doing around the world, especially in Iran and the Persian diaspora. Join us in the Sanctuary on the Loretto Road Campus at 6:30pm. Childcare is available for kindergarten and younger.

Dr Sasan Tavassoli is missionary with the Outreach Foundation to the Persian speaking world. Sasan is a former Shi’ite Muslim from Iran who came to faith in Christ in 1985 as the result of the ministry of a group of American missionaries while he was living in Europe. He is an ordained Presbyterian minister and has been involved in ministry within the Iranian communities in the US and around the world as a pastor, teacher and theologian for the past three decades.

Since 2006 the main focus of Dr Tavassoli’s ministry has been teaching on Christian satellite TV. His Farsi broadcasts are aired into Iran and around the world on a daily basis. He is also a co-founder of Pars Theological Center and is extensively involved in leadership training and theological education for the purpose of equipping and resourcing the leaders of the house church movements in Iran. Sasan also travels widely within North America, Europe and the Middle East to preach, teach and encourage Iranian Christians in diaspora. He is the author of the book Christian Encounters with Iran: Engaging Muslim thinkers after the Revolution by I.B. Tauris.

Dr Tavassoli has graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary (MA), Columbia Theological Seminary (ThM), and earned his PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Birmingham, UK. Sasan and his family live in the USA.
