| Dr Daniel Shayesteh; Why I left Islam to follow Jesus (1/5) - 560 sec PART 1.
Dr Daniel Shayesteh is an Iranian immigrant who arrived in Australia with his family in November 1991. Daniel is married to Mary and they have three daughters. He is Director of the organisation "Exodus from Darkness" and a National Evangelist for the Christian and Missionary Alliance of Australia. His ministry is based out of Hills Alliance Church (Baulkham Hills, Sydney) and the Iranian Alliance Church of Sydney (Auburn). He is also a part time lecturer in International Business at the University of Technology Sydney.
Daniel was deeply involved in the Iranian Fundamentalist Revolution (1979) as a leading Muslim political leader and teacher of Islam. He speaks three middle-eastern languages (Farsi, Turkish and Azerbaijani) and is an accomplished poet and classical middle-eastern musician. He was saved wonderfully through Christ, when he escaped to Turkey after falling out of favour with Khomeini's political group.
On his arrival in Australia Daniel sought fellowship with Christians from Islamic backgrounds. In 1994 he commenced studies at Morling Bible College and completed the Diploma of Theology and Pastoral Ministry. He also has a PhD in International Business that he completed in Turkey.
Dr Shayesteh's message and testimony clearly highlights the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. He will explain why he believes the God of Christianity is different to the gods worshipped by the other great religions of the world. Dr Shayesteh aims to provide insight into his former beliefs and worldview, and the transformation that has taken place since his conversion. So dramatic was his conversion that he says that unless he had found Jesus he might not be alive today. He will explain the uniqueness of Jesus, not one amongst many, but the only one who can point His followers to THE way, THE truth and eternal life.
