Dr. Rafat Amari

Born in the Middle East in 1943, Dr. Amari traveled to Italy to study medicine. During those years, his study of the New Testament led to a decisive Christian awakening, and he began biblical studies alongside his medical training. He completed his medical education in 1968.

After returning to the Middle East in 1970, he served evangelical churches in Jordan. In 1989, he left medical practice to devote his full time to The Continuous Flame.

The Continuous Flame called believers and churches to honor God through prayer, seek revival, and intercede for countries where faithful Christian witness faced serious barriers. Prayer was not a preliminary activity before the ministry's work; it was the work's foundation.

From that foundation, Dr. Amari's ministry expanded into Christian teaching, publishing, research on Islam, prayer conferences, radio, and television. These efforts served one purpose: to strengthen the Church and bear witness to Jesus Christ in truth and love.

His research sought to examine early Islamic sources and historical claims while equipping Christians to understand Islam and present the Gospel clearly.

His writing and teaching grew from a life of prayer and ministry. This author profile gathers his published research and teaching; the separate Founder page tells the story of The Continuous Flame's beginning and his leadership of the ministry.
