Dr. Anis Shorrosh was more than an evangelist and author. He was a husband, a father, a friend, and a force of nature. He walked into every room like he already knew everyone in it — because in his heart, he did. This page is dedicated to the man behind the ministry.

Happy Morning!

Those two words were his calling card. It didn’t matter if it was 6 AM or midnight — Dr. Shorrosh greeted everyone with a booming “Happy Morning!” It caught people off guard, made them laugh, and made them feel seen. He never met a stranger in his life.

He sang God Bless America in restaurants, airports, hotel lobbies — anywhere he felt the joy rise up. He loved this country with everything he had, and he wasn’t shy about it. He loved God even more, and that love came through in everything he did.

“He walked in and the whole room changed. That was just who he was.”

From Nazareth to the Nations

He was born in the same city where Jesus grew up — Nazareth, 1933 — and spent his life telling the world about the man who came from that same town. There was something he loved about that connection. It made the story personal, and everything with Dr. Shorrosh was personal.

He came to America as a young man with almost nothing, built a life and a ministry through sheer faith and relentless love for people, and spent the next fifty years crossing oceans to preach in more than eighty countries. He never slowed down.
