Hussain Andaryas told WND Rahman's clear declaration of faith in the clip is not the action of a crazy man but a courageous, "joyous" believer in Jesus who is inspiring many Afghan Christians.
Andaryas noted Rahman's stand for faith has been a great source of inspiration.
"I personally, in my faith, I have been encouraged just to hear this man," he said.
The former aide worker in Pakistan who knew Rahman affirmed he has been an encouragement to many Afghan Christians.
"We need strong people like him as an example for others," she said.
Andaryas, who says he has the names of 6,000 Christians in Afghanistan, is receiving e-mails throughout the day from his home country, and most in recent days are about Rahman.
