Afshin Ziafat Director/Speaker - Afshin Ziafat Ministries

Afshin Ziafat was born in Houston, Texas. When he was two years old, his family moved back to their native country of Iran. At the age 6, his family moved back to Houston because of the Islamic Revolution which occurred in that country. In the second grade, he was given a Bible by a tutor who taught him the English language. As a senior in High School, he read that bible and came to faith in Christ as his only Lord and Savior. Because of his new-found faith, his family would disown him. His story is one of heartbreak leading to great joy in following Christ even in the midst of persecution. His story illustrates the literal call of Christ-”If anyone loses his life of My sake, he will find it.” “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, and even his own life—he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.” Afshin say, “My life is not about man”s faithfulness to God. Instead it’s about God’s faithfulness to a man.”

Ashin received his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at Austin. He received his Masters of Divinity from Southwestern Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas. He served on the staff of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas before God called him into a nationwide speaking ministry.

Currently, Afshin resides in his hometown of Houston Texas and travels around the United States and the world proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in churches, retreats, camps, conferences, and missions. He is also the regular speaker at Truth Bible Study at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. His passion is to teach the Word of God as the authority and guide for life, to preach Jesus Christ as the only Savior and Redeemer of mankind, and to proclaim the love of Christ as the greatest treasure and hope in life.
