“It is a privilege to support Amir and Clare, along with the work of Hamsayeh International, as they bring the light of Jesus into hearts and communities that are in darkness. Their love for Farsi-speakers is evident.” P Wright
“It has been a privilege and joy to see HI grow from the germ of an idea into a full-fledged ministry with enormous potential. It is led by faithful gospel servants fuelled by a genuine love for God’s Farsi-speaking people.” M Meynell
