Corey Erman was born in Turkey and his Sunni Muslim family immigrated to the United Sates when he was 12. After being disillusioned with religion and having a supernatural encounter with God at the age of 17, he became the first born-again Christian in his family. Corey received a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Texas A&M University and started a career in IT consulting. On November 12, 1995, as he cried out to the God, Corey was taken up into the realm of the glory of God and the the Lord Jesus appeared to him and gave him a mandate for an end-time ministry to the nations. In early 1996, he left his career in the United States and moved back to his homeland, Turkey to start out in the ministry. He traveled as an evangelist for 2 years and preached the Gospel to Muslims with supernatural results. He was arrested and interrogated 12 times for his ministry. In 1998, he married Gulben “Rose” in Ankara, Turkey. Together they moved back to the US to attend Bible School at The River Bible Institute. Upon graduation, they were ordained by Drs. Rodney & Adonica Howard-Browne of Revival Ministries International. In 1999, they moved to Istanbul, Turkey to establish Turkish Revival Ministries with an apostolic mandate. Out of their base in Istanbul, they have established over 12 churches, many Bible Schools and carried revival to 25 nations reaching and training thousands of people. Pastor Corey’s Turkish language TV program “Revival” has reached millions of people across the Middle East, Europe and Asia since 2007.
