About
‘The Young Puritan’ is created for the arrangement of my own thoughts and comments as I grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the work of the ministry. From time to time I shall add certain articles which I find helpful and pastoral in nature.
My name is Pooyan Mehrshahi, and am originally from Iran, married to Becky, and have two sons, Isaac and Joel. My theological persuasion is Reformed Baptist, 2nd London Baptist Confession of Faith. After finishing my theological training in June 2007, the Lord lead me to my beloved church in Cheltenham, England.
Providence Baptist Chapel in Cheltenham, England – is a small and faithful church. In our short time here, I have come to love them all very much. We constantly pray for the Lord’s blessing.
My expressed views on this blogsite are not necessarily the views of individual church members which I pastor.
Hi Pooyan, I hope to benefit from your postings on ‘Young Puritan’ in the near future.
Yours
Paul
Greetings Pooyan
I met you when you were in Ireland, good to see you have got a charge. Hope the Lord blesses your church, wife and family.
Dear Pooyan,
Welcome to blogging. Already looks like you have lots of useful material posted. I hope to visit regularly, and also hope to see you when you come back Ulster for visits. You could hardly stay away from here too long?
I will be praying for your ministry that God will own his own glorious truth. May he also be pleased to bless your little church at home of which you are prophet, priest and king, under THE Prophet, Priest, and King.
Yours in Christ,
Gary McCullough

Hey PM, my friend, Justin Peters is coming to England at the end of March. I thought you may be interested in his web site. He spoke at my church against the Word of Faith movement and comes highly recommended by my pastor, Dr. John MacArthur.
He was also recently on the Al Mohler show regarding “Lakeland.”

Greetings Pooyan, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
I would just like to express my thanks to you for ‘lifting up a banner’ for Christ and His Kingdom. I’ve been greatly encouraged by your blog and have passed it on to several friends. I/we enjoyed very much fellowshipping with you and your family recently when met in England. Please pass on our Christian greetings to your wife and children. May you ever be looking to Christ for wisdom, strength and courage as you labour in the field he has ordained for you. Please be assured of our prayers.
May the Lord bless and keep you

Greetings Pooyan,
Just today I saw your website again, which is good and will help a friend with some schoolwork…
Thanks for the interview you had with the Reformed Daily! It was in the newspaper last Friday. We got lots reactions from people we know here in Holland… And it´s nice that they all know now in what kind of (really nice!) family´s we stayed. Thanks again for that!
I heard from J. that you tried to translate the article. So, hopefully you´ve also read it now. I´m going to finish this comment. Lots of success with all your work! Greetings to everyone from Providence.
Every blessings, (also to Becky and the guys)
Marije.
