This week on On the Move, our host Leanne White welcomes Farshid Rezaee. Raised in Iran, Farshid grew up heavily engaged in the Islamic faith. After an unexpected introduction to the Bible, his eyes were opened to the gospel and he began exploring the life and teaching of Christ.

Farshid came to accept Christ while living in Iran, but his ability to live out his faith publicly was severely limited. Leaving his job in Iran as a lecturer, he moved to Malaysia where he lived as a refugee for 12 years and taught apologetics and preached at churches, camps and universities. In August 2022, he was resettled in Pittsburgh where God led him to PRISM.

In this episode, you'll hear more about Farshid's story along with his encouragement to Christians: that every testimony is powerful, and that every Christian must be committed to the Great Commission.

One morning in 2019, Steve White woke up to find a handful of Facebook friend requests from international pastors. Within a few days, he would receive 4,000 of these friend requests.

In this episode, On the Move producer talks with Leanne White, co-founder of 21C International. As Steve's wife, Leanne remembers those few days clearly. Only of a couple of years earlier, she had felt like training pastors around the world was God's calling on her life, and perhaps the next steps in their ministry as a married couple.

As friend requests from pastors streamed in, Steve's brother asked the question that sparked the idea for 21C International: "Well Steve, it looks like God has given you a church of 4,000 pastors. What are you going to do with it?"

Key points from this episode:
- Leanne became passionate about training pastors around the world after unexpectedly joining a trip to Haiti
- An influx of 4,000 Facebook friends, comprised entirely of international pastors, leads to the formation of 21C International
- Our first calling is to love God and love our neighbors; you don't have to go to Haiti to fill the Great Commission.
