Pastor Yasmin Roohi pastors Centerset church along with her husband Pastor Ali Roohi in the Silicon Valley. \xa0They planted Centerset church together, birthed out of a dream and a calling that they shared since they were dating. \xa0Yasmin is an Iranian-American who grew up in Italy. \xa0She cares deeply about justice, and longs to make a difference in the lives of those who are oppressed and treated unjustly. \xa0She and her husband are raising 2 girls ages 4 and 2, and she strives to make the world a better place for her girls to grow up in. \xa0She gives us her perspective on what it must have been like for a young Middle Eastern woman named Mary to say "yes" to the monumental task of carrying, birthing and raising the Messiah.\n\nhttps://centerset.church\nBooks Yasmin recommends:\nWhy Not Women? https://cbeinternational.christianbook.com/not-women-scripture-missions-ministry-leadership/loren-cunningham/9781576581834/pd/581837?event=ESRCG\nJust Lead https://www.amazon.com/Just-Lead-Complaining-Nonsense-Practical/dp/1118314395\nDeveloping Female Leaders by Kadi Cole https://www.developingfemaleleadersbook.com\n\nStay In Touch: Connect on Facebook and Instagram with thoughts, questions, and feedback.
