Pastor Hormoz Shariat, known as the "Billy Graham of Iran" will be speaking in Spokane this week about his evangelism work in the Middle East and Europe.
He is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries, which focuses on viral evangelism, obedience-based discipleship and practical leadership development with the hopes of transforming Iran.
On the morning of Aug. 11, 45 churches from across the Spokane area will participate in Serve Our City.
That morning volunteers from the participating churches will beautify the grounds of a nearby school by picking up trash, pulling weeds and other basic maintenance activities.
