In 1999, George Nayati, founder of AYAT Christian Store, began selling audio tapes of sermons, and a few books and other Christian items in the back of Abundant Life Church's hall, in Beirut Lebanon. We saw how much the believers were blessed and encouraged to have these materials, and we were determined to make even more items available to them. Even with very few resources, we believed that God would use us to bless the Middle East. Little by little, the ministry in the back of the church began to grow by distributing to local bookstores and participating in exhibitions and conferences, selling products that had not previously been available in Lebanon. In the fall of 2007, this line of exclusive products became known as "AYAT" which means verses or wonders in Arabic.

We saw our dream of having our own bookstore coming true in the summer of 2008. AYAT Christian Store officially opened in a store located in Bourj Hammoud, Beirut. Since that time, by the grace of God, AYAT has become one of the leading Christian bookstores in the Middle East.

In 2017 we opened our 1st branch in Egypt at Masr Al Jadidah and in 2018 the year of multiplications we opened 2 new branches in the market place in Beirut at Le Mall Dbayeh and City Mall Dora.

AYAT works very hard to bring the best in Christian products to the Middle East at prices that are affordable to everyone. We are continuing to step forward in this region to ensure that the believers have what they need to grow in their faith and to be a light of His love and grace.
