We Spent 3 Days in the First Christian Country of the World, and Here Is What We Learned
Friday, August 21, 2026Â
From August 17 to 19, 2026, we brought DOMINUS Tour to Armenia. It was our first stop on a global journey to carry the new Christian startup way directly to founders, students, churches, universities, and leaders around the world. And there was only one logical place to begin. Armenia. The first Christian nation on earth, Christian since the year 301.
We came following an invitation from two great Armenian entrepreneurs, Armen and Shavarsh. We left changed. Here is what those three days taught us.
#1: A blessing we will never forget
The highlight of the whole tour happened at Etchmiadzin, the spiritual heart of Armenia and the seat of the Armenian Church. There, we received a blessing from the Catholicos for our mission.
It is hard to put into words what that meant. We came to Armenia to serve, to give, and to equip the next generation of Christian builders. To be blessed by the head of the oldest national church on earth, for exactly that work, felt like a confirmation from God himself. We carry that blessing with us now into every country still to come.​
#2:Â Armen and Shavarsh, and a company the world should copy
None of this happens without Armen and Shavarsh. These two men opened the door to Armenia and walked every step with us.
What struck us most was not only their expertise, though they have plenty of it. It was their character. They are hard working, humble, and completely serious about their faith. Their love for God shows up in how they treat people, how they build, and how they lead. That is rare anywhere in the world.
Armen's company, Esterox, is a role model for every Christian business on earth. Great work, real excellence, and a family business built on the right foundation. If you want to see proof that faith and world class business belong together, look at what Armen has built.
#3: Formula Hub and the Honorable Steward Award
Our public event at Formula Hub in Yerevan was outstanding. A full room, a great panel on AI, and a keynote we called Humans First. We talked about how to stay human in the age of AI, and how founders can build with excellence under God.
At the event, the CEO Network honored us with the Honorable Steward Award. We are deeply grateful. We did not come to Armenia for recognition. We came to give. To be received with that kind of honor told us the message landed.
#4:Â The biggest DOMINUS Dinner yet
That evening we hosted the biggest DOMINUS Dinner we have ever had, right in Yerevan, with more than ten founders around one table. Good food, honest conversation, and real connection. In the age of AI, sitting face to face with other builders who share your faith is a superpower. Armenia gave us our best dinner so far.
#5:Â Khor Virap, a dungeon, and Mount Ararat
With the CEO Network we traveled to Khor Virap, where Saint Gregory the Illuminator was held in a pit for thirteen years before he baptized a nation. We went down into that dungeon ourselves. Standing in the same darkness where the faith of an entire country was born is something you feel in your bones.
And then we came up, and there it was. Mount Ararat, rising over the plain. The mountain of Noah, watching over the first Christian nation. We will let the video speak for that one.
#6:Â TUMO and the next generation
We visited TUMO, and we saw the future of Armenia with our own eyes. Free technology education for tens of thousands of children, STEM from the very start, labs, grants, and a model the whole world is now copying.
This is why we believe Armenia can lead. A nation that teaches its children to build, from day one, is a nation ready for what comes next.
#7:Â Lived Gospel with the Sisters of Mother Teresa
The most moving moment of all was quiet, and small, and unforgettable.
We joined the Sisters of Mother Teresa for early Mass. Then they showed us their home. In one small house, these sisters care for more than twenty disabled children with such warmth, such joy, and such patience that we ran out of words. Young volunteers had traveled all the way from Peru just to serve there.
This was not a program. This was the Gospel, lived. Love with no cameras, no applause, and no reward except the children themselves. We will never forget it.​
#8:Â A stand against secularism, and for Christian business
We came to Armenia to make a stand. A stand against a secular world that says your value is only your output, and a stand for Christian founders who want to build companies on a better foundation.
Armenia showed us that this stand is not a dream. It is already alive here, in the values of the people, in the faith of the church, in the character of leaders like Armen and Shavarsh, and in the children learning to build at TUMO.
We are only getting started. In the weeks ahead we will release more and more video footage from Yerevan, so the whole world can see what we saw. Follow along, and come with us.
The first Christian nation welcomed us. Now we help carry its light forward.
Peace be with you. Khaghaghutyun dzez.

DOMINUS Tour ARMENIA:Â Equipping 1,000 Armenian Builders to Lead the Christian AI Revolution.
This August we take the movement on the road, and the first stop was never in question:
🇦🇲 Armenia, the first Christian nation (est. AD 301).
Invited by two great Armenian entrepreneurs, Armen Adamyan and Shavarsh Karapetyan, we will be in Yerevan from August 17 to 19, 2026.
And we are not coming empty handed.
​We are donating 1,000 Christian Startup School memberships to equip the next generation of Armenian builders to lead the Christian AI revolution.
The school gives a founder the plan, the focus, and the community to go from an idea to the first 1,000 users.
​Now we need to place them well: students, young founders, engineers with an idea, church members who feel called to build.
​
​Three days. 1,000 memberships. One goal: Armenian Builders to Lead the Christian AI Revolution.
