Christ For Iran Ministry
19 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.
Matthew 28:19-20 NKJV
Iran one of the most religious countries that through centuries was under attack of spiritual enemy.
Statistic shows that in 2018 Iran had the most high transformation and growth of secret churches in the world.
They’re prohibited to attend or convert or share their belief. Just Shi’a believers from Islamic Ideology can live normal life in that country
If you convert and deny Islam you will face death sentence by the law of Quran.
The Quran discusses apostasy in many of its verses. For example:[36]
But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith, – never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray.
You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and against these We have given you a clear authority.
Make ye no excuses: ye have rejected Faith after ye had accepted it. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, for that they are in sin.
He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.
Why Iran!
As we read in Bible darkness could never take over the Light of truth.
In last centuries Iranians were forced to live in the darkness of the demonical spirit, they’re exhausted from this darkness and their thirst for just is bringing them to the point that they could embrace the risk of being persecuted and banished in their community .
A lot of people are under persecution and silently living in Christ!
These are the people that they lived in ignorance!
Without any word of truth but by faith God miraculously takes care of his people and his mighty word is moving powerfully in that land.
It reminds me when apostle Paul was in prison and he says:
8. Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of king David, was raised from the dead. This is the good news I preach. 9. And because I preach this good news, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained.
2 Timothy 2:8-9
People in Iran Afghanistan and Tajikistan like a lot of Muslim countries lived under control of spirit of fear in full ignorance of word of God.
By modern applications and social connections a lot of them are receiving the truth and the life but still we need to work on it.
It’s the great commandment of our lord Jesus Christ to share it!!!
We do try to help the Persian speaking people to get the knowledge of our lord Jesus, we do commit ourselves to share His light with these people, we do pray for them to be strengthened in with His spirit;
Saeed Abedini, an Iranian-American pastor, who kept in Rajai Shahr prison, was summoned to the Prison Security Department by two infamous torturers identified as Mr. Bahreini and Mr. Mozare. The officials had allegedly threatened
Mr. Abedini for another vague charges.
Mr. Abedini, who converted to Christianity in 2000, was arrested in July 2012 when he went to Iran to see his family and build an orphanage, BCR Group has learned. The imprisoned Iranian-American was sentenced to eight years in prison for vague charges as “intending to disrupt Iranian national security by establishing a network of Christian house churches.”
He has been reportedly kept at the notorious Rajai Shahr prison amongst criminals imprisoned for serious offences such as murder, rape, drug smuggling and fraud.
Accordingly, Jason Rezaian, an American-Iranian journalist employed as The Washington Post Bureau Chief in Tehran, and Amir Hekmati, the former United States Marine, are two other Iranian-Americans being held in prison in Iran. In addition, Omid Kokabee, an Iranian experimental laser physicist at the University of Texas at Austin, has been imprisoned after returning to Iran for a visit.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:32 NKJV
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6 NKJV
We saw the lack of knowledge of truth in the country! Prayed for and by the vision of having a large educational church started to go through..
Sharing the Gospel with them, baptizing them, making disciples and our Lords teachings.
We have many Iranians that they received Jesus as their savior and by grace of God the mount is growing…
So we need more Bibles in booklet or electronic shape.
We need more Christian hearts to beat for these people and have a continually prayers…
We need more friends to share with them about Gods mighty word…
