Welcome Adventurers!

Argisht was born in 1984 and raised in Tehran, Iran. Melody was born and raised in Los Angeles in 1988. Both were born to Armenian families and grew up in the Church.

Growing up surrounded by giants of faith in their family greatly shaped and inspired them. They both felt a strong call of God on their lives since their early childhood.

Melody's late grandfather Papa Seth founded the Spirit-filled church movement in Iran in his family home after a supernatural encounter in 1955. These nightly revival meetings went on for four years and are where many leaders of the Church of Iran (and some of its martyrs) were saved, baptized and filled with the Spirit.

As revival spread, Papa rode his bicycle to another part of town to do meetings in none other than Arg's grandparents home. Their home became known as khoone kelisa ("house church") in the neighborhood.

Melody was marked by deep encounters with Jesus in her youth. She grew in her love and service of Jesus and joined the worship team when she was 15.

Arg came to the US in 2006. After spending his teen years away from church, he had a come-to-Jesus moment in 2007 and rededicated his life to Him.

Arg first saw Melody when he walked into Iranian Church of Los Angeles - the church her parents founded and pastored. She was playing drums with the worship team- his instrument of choice.

On their first date, they spoke about living a life of adventure with Jesus, traveling sharing the Gospel among the nations. Little did they know how prophetic that conversation would be!

Love grew strong between them despite the difficulties and losses they experienced in their early years together. They were married in 2014, vowing to adventure wherever the Lord would lead them. God continued to open doors for them to serve in churches, television programs, on worship and creative projects, with youth, and more. 

In 2018, they felt led to lay down their careers to serve Iranian refugees full-time in Turkey. They were entrusted a broken church in 2019 and over two years of work and by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it grew to 200 members- expanding to hundreds more online in the Iran region and beyond.

They traveled simultaneously, ministering among youth in national conferences and recording live worship programs watched throughout the Farsi-speaking world.
