The Rev. Amir S. Bazmjou was born in Iran. He is an ordained minister and the CEO of Torch Ministries (Mashaal Ministries).
He has been involved in various types of ministry including teaching, training and preaching within Persian communities and also globally internationally for over two decades.
Torch Ministries was founded by him and his wife Rashin Soodmand (the daughter of the martyred Rev. Hossein Soodmand). It is based on a vision God gave him for the salvation, restoration and mobilisation of His people. It is also based on the living legacy of a flaming torch passed on to them by the Rev. Hossein Soodmand to carry on this mission for the kingdom of God. Torch’s mission is to strengthen, equip and train Persian Christian converts and to reach non–Christians. Amir is a PhD Candidate/researcher in Theology & Political Science at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies based in Oxford.
