Healing river is born
Healing River was born from a simple “yes” to God.
What began in secret gatherings and seasons of hardship became a journey of faith and surrender. We learned to trust Him when nothing made sense, to step out of the boat and walk on the water.
Our calling is to carry the life and love of Jesus wherever He leads, to bring healing, hope, and the presence of Heaven to those in need. The same river that flows from His heart still brings life today.
About me
I was born in Iran, a nation where following Jesus can cost you everything. From a young age, I felt the gentle voice of God calling me, even when I didn’t fully understand what it meant. At the age of ten, a missionary prayed over me and said, “You will be a servant of Christ.” That moment planted a seed of calling deep in my heart.
Years later, as a refugee in Belgium, I encountered the presence of Jesus in a small room. In the middle of fear and uncertainty, the Holy Spirit met me powerfully and my life was forever changed.
Since then, together with my wife, Helia, we have walked a journey of faith and obedience. Serving young people, refugees, and families across nations.
Today, through Healing River Ministry, we continue to carry the message of hope, healing, and freedom that flows from the heart of Jesus.
My desire is simple: “To go wherever no one else wants to go, and to love those the world has forgotten.”
