A ministry founded by two former Muslims from Iran
Vahid and Golsa Norouzi were raised Muslim in Iran. Today they train the Church in the West to share Christ with their Muslim neighbours — and carry the gospel back to the East, where it is still illegal to own a Bible.
The same gospel, carried both ways — into American churches that want to reach the Muslim family down the street, and back into the countries we came from.
Mission in the West
We come alongside churches across America with teaching, worship and testimony — so that ordinary believers stop crossing the street and start crossing the room.

Mission in the East
Owning a Bible is illegal in Iran. The Church there is growing anyway. We teach, worship and gather with believers across the Farsi- and Arabic-speaking world.

Nearly everything written for Christians about Islam is apologetics — how to win the argument. That is not what we teach, and it is not how either of us came to Christ.
“Our heart is not to make people debaters. We want to share with you how we share the gospel with Muslims.”
Every big door has a small key. Over eight to ten weeks we hand you the keys we grew up holding — what Muslims actually believe, where the Qur’an itself opens a door to Jesus, and how to have a conversation that ends in friendship rather than a fight.
We were both raised Muslim in Iran. Vahid called Muslims to prayer from a mosque. This is not researched — it is lived.
Attendees keep telling us the same thing: before you can tell anyone that God is a loving Father, you have to believe it yourself.
You do not need a passport or a support letter. The people this prepares you for are already your neighbours, colleagues and classmates.
“We don’t give fish, we give tools. We say you need to fish it.”
Stories
People who took the training and went back to their own street, and believers inside Iran meeting in secret. Same gospel, same surprise.
“Someone had broken the rule to bring her friend to the feet of Jesus.”
“When you truly love a Muslim, they will desire and want to know the love in you, which is Jesus.”

“My earthly father doesn't see me, but you are my heavenly father.”

Short answers from Vahid and Golsa, and stories from believers who took the training.
RTN works across the Farsi- and Arabic-speaking world and among diaspora communities in the West. We teach, broadcast and support trusted leaders wherever the door is open.
Countries shown are general — we never publish the locations of believers or gatherings.
Vahid grew up in Iran in a home where he was not wanted, sheltering in mosques in winter to stay warm — which is how he came to give the call to prayer five times a day. At twenty, in Istanbul, he walked into an Iranian church intending to argue, and found people singing to God as Father.
Golsa was raised in a God-seeking Muslim family in Iran. Her family left everything after her parents came to Christ. Handed a Bible in Florida, she read it ten hours a day until she reached John 14:6 and knew she had found what she had been searching for.
They lead RTN together.
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do — for believers under pressure, and for the neighbours you are learning to love.
Bring the Ten Keys to your church, or join a class. Eight to ten weeks that change how you see the family down the street.
Your giving funds training materials, support for underground leaders, and broadcasts into places the church cannot go.
