Ahmad is a follower of Jesus who led a network of underground churches in Afghanistan. Now, as a 'disciple-making leader' of the EMCC, he is pioneering a church and outreach among the thousands of Afghan people in the Waterloo Region.

He holds regular worship meetings, Bible studies, and prayer groups with Afghan and Iranian believers. The church as a group is working to build connections and relationships with the local Afghan community in Kitchener-Waterloo. This work in the community is supported in part by Bethany EMC, and a growing network of churches that desires to see this ministry established.
