“God’s purpose and design repeatedly unfold within the experience of migration and dislocation.  God is using Patras and Naomi to help many understand the challenges and difficulties of resettlement in a strange country. Their testimony of living and ministering in a part of the world where it is dangerous to be followers of Christ and persecution is a reality has opened our eyes.   Presenting the gospel of Jesus Christ through 1040 Global’s partnerships with local churches is an invitation to participate in one of the greatest mission opportunities of our time.”

“Several years ago I met Patras and Naomi in answer to prayer. They have an amazing testimony of founding churches in Pakistan and Afghanistan. They have experienced incredible persecution for Serving “Yesu Al Massih”. Peter was apostle to the Jews, Paul was apostle to the gentiles and Patras is the modern Apostle to the Muslims. He is showing the church in the central Ohio a new paradigm to reach the Muslims in our communities”

Patras and Naomi may be the most gifted evangelists I have ever met. Their passion for Christ and his kingdom surpass any connection to this world.  They are burdened for the people groups that have come to America and are fasting, praying, and working to impact this world for God beyond anything else!

“Grace Church in Powell, Ohio partners with Patras and Naomi Rahmat. We met Patras at a critical time having been through severe persecution in Pakistan and Afghanistan.  He and Naomi poured out their hearts and vision, seeking ways to become full-time missionaries in Central Ohio.  We joined with them in financial support and have benefited from this partnership in equipping us and providing an opportunity to engage and show love and acceptance to immigrants from the Middle East, Central, and Southern Asia.  We invite you to invest in this ministry and to pray daily for Patras and Naomi Rahmat.”

“We want to support Patras and Naomi and see the fruit of their labor. I witness that people who have never read the bible before are reading the Bible for themselves because of their labors. We want to build a network of support around them in our church, and we want that to happen in our community too. Let’s pray and support 1040 Global to engage people of different cultures and share the gospel in the best way we possibly can.”
