Pastor David Nasser, Who Fled Iran as a Child with His Family in 1979, Shares His Faith – “The Fastest Growing Church in the World Right Now is Actually the Underground Christian Church in Iran” – (VIDEO)
Pastor David Nasser, who fled Iran as a child with his family in 1979, was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream.
Pastor Nasser talked about how his family left during the Islamic Revolution.
“David Nasser was 9 years old in 1979, when his family fled the violent revolution happening in Iran. They came to the US, where David is now an author, pastor, and speaker,” Bream said.
“David, you and your family have an amazing story. How does the news of this weekend sit with you in light of that?” Bream asked.
“We are waking up to the hope that this is the dawn of a new season. My family and I escaped from Iran when I was 9 years old, when the Iranian Revolution happened. My father was high-ranked in the military, and so we were forced to escape and run for our lives,” Nasser said.
“We found safe harbor as refugees under political asylum here in the United States. In one sense, we are the American dream. This was the land of opportunity for us, but in another sense, we had another dream, and that was to see the people of Iran liberated,” Nasser continued.
“This is both overwhelming hope, and terrifying and exhilarating for our people that we might actually see the people of Iran freed. It’s just such an incredible moment for us,” Nasser said.
“You have obviously stayed connected to your loved ones there. What does this mean for them because they have sort of been given this opportunity, but also the risk that comes with that. I mean, whether this regime is fully toppled or not?” Bream asked.
“I think you are right. I think the initial concern is that hopefully this is more than you know, kicking a hornet’s nest. This is actually the toppling over of a you know, of a tyrant regime,” Nasser said.
“But at the same time, if this actually does bring about a new day, a democracy for Iran, this is a nation for you know, four decades, has been under oppression. And so, they’ve got a lot of rebuilding to do,” Nasser continued.
“I think you are gonna see the people of Iran thrive. They are going to build their nation back,” Nasser said.
“I think President Trump said it best, you know, the involvement has been that we are gonna come in and, for lack of better terms, give an air war and do the help that we can,” Nasser said.
“But this is really the fight of the Iranian people. This is their revolution, and so, they need to do the groundwork,” Nasser said.
“What is the role of faith played here for your journey, and more broadly for the American, the Iranian people now?” Bream asked.
“To me, some of the most troubling places in the world are actually some of the most religious places in the world,” Nasser said.
“As a Christian pastor, my prayer for Iran is that ultimately, this will bring about more than the liberation of a nation, or this will bring about more than just a new revolution. That this will actually bring about revival,” Nasser continued.
“The fastest growing church in the world right now is actually the underground Christian Church in Iran,” Nasser said.
