Hello and welcome to Resurrect Ministry! I was a devout, practicing Muslim for over 20 years. My entire professional career both inside the U.S. government and in the private sector was built around my faith and how to defeat Islamic terrorism. I maintained a rigorous prayer schedule, kept the strict Islamic dress code, and fasted regularly.  But no matter what I did, I never felt that my sins were forgiven or that I would go to Heaven–until I accepted Christ. 

After a series of dramatic life events, my faith in Islam was shaken and I was begging God to reveal himself to me. I happened to click on a link in social media and started watching a Christian pastor on YouTube. It wasn’t long after, I had a radical personal encounter with Christ. I heard the voice of Jesus, calling out my name. “Hedieh it’s me,” he said. Accepting Jesus Christ has completely transformed my heart, my life, and my faith. I now know my sins are forgiven and I will have eternal life in Heaven. Since being in relationship with Jesus, I have this overwhelming peace, joy and satisfaction in my life that I never had before meeting Him.
