In addition, Rev. Dr. Kazemi came to know the Lord on December 12, 1989, following a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ, facilitated by his wife, Insook, through dreams and visions. He initially attended a Persian-speaking church pastored by Pastor Fred Saleh, who baptized him in 1990. In 1991, he transitioned to Faith Temple, where he was nurtured under Dr. Winston Nunes, known as the "Walking Bible." After Dr. Nunes passed away in 1999, Mohsen and Insook felt led to join The Meeting House, under the leadership of Pastor Broxy Cavey. They served as home church leaders until 2005, when the Lord called them to the Persian ministry at Bayview Glen Church, led by Pastor Sam Nasser. Pastor Sam and Mohsen were baptized together in 1990 by Pastor Saleh and have maintained a close friendship ever since.

Mohsen served as the Chairman of the Board of Elders at Mohabat Alliance Church from 2012 to 2020. In 2019, the Lord called him to become the pastor of Mohabat Alliance Church, and he was inaugurated as the senior pastor in March 2020. Mohsen and Insook continue to serve the Lord at Mohabat Alliance Church.

Rev. Dr. Kazemi has also appeared multiple times on programs such as 100 Huntley Street, Life Lessons, and On The Line, sharing his testimony and commenting on Christianity and the Bible. He is committed to bringing the message of love and grace to Persian-speaking people in Toronto and around the world.
