New believers worship in secret and many risk losing their family, job, and inheritance. Despite this, the Church in Iran is one of the fastest growing Churches in the world. Even children of political and Muslim leaders are coming to Christ.

Pray that the Iranian law will allow freedom of religion for all. PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that imprisoned Christians in Iran will show love towards their prison guards and inmates, and that this may lead many of them to Christ. Pray that the Iranian law will allow freedom of religion for all. Pray that Muslim families will value love over the ‘shame’ it brings when family members convert to Christianity.
