Meet our Founders
Early beginnings
In 1999, the Lord brought Mike and Samya with their young daughter to the United States. They had been serving underground in the Middle East, proclaiming the gospel and supporting the underground church, and the Lord called them to continue this work in a more expansive way in the U.S..
After the devastating events of 9/11, Samya and Mike saw many Americans respond to Muslims with fear and hatred, but also there were many conflicting messages about what Islam truly is. The Lord called them to reveal the truth about Islam to Christians while also empowering them to love their Muslim friends and neighbors instead of fear them.
Call of Love Ministries continued to serve as an equipping ministry to churches across the midwestern United States. We published three books of varying depth and study on Islam, had daily spots on radio, a television program, and hosted seminars and workshops.
Our media team began producing Christian Arabic content directed towards Muslims to open their eyes to the truth and introduce them to Jesus. These were published on YouTube, but this came with drawbacks. Many Islamic governments could censor YouTube content from reaching their population, and the channel was often reported and suspended.
Opportunity to expand our reach
In 2017, the Lord brought us the opportunity to lease a satellite frequency to broadcast our programs 24/7 to the entire Arab world. The fee for us to have this frequency was $16,000 per month, and we needed it in three weeks. The Lord was faithful and brought us generous partners and supporters who made this big new endeavor possible!
From the first day, this television station has attracted many Muslims hungry for the truth, who have reached out to our contact center and accepted Christ as Lord! But we saw a lack of discipleship and fellowship available for Muslim-background believers.
A church for the churchless
In March of 2020, when the pandemic forced many churches to close their doors, our founders’ hearts were touched by the isolation we were all experiencing. They recognized this was just a glimpse into the experiences of persecuted and underground Christians around the world every day especially in Islamic countries.
Within 9 months, our team built a secure online platform to host a remote church for believers who have no church in their city or are unable to safely attend one in person. After 3 years, there are 1,100+ families and individuals attending our two weekly services, and the Lord continues to call more into this body of believers weekly.
