How can we pray for you?

Introduction to Iran:

Iran, historically known as Persia, is a nation rich in history, culture, and influence in the Middle East. With a population of over 88 million people, Iran is predominantly Muslim, primarily following Shia Islam. However, Iran also has one of the fastest-growing underground Christian movements in the world. Despite severe persecution, house churches are thriving, and many are coming to faith through dreams, visions, and the witness of brave believers. Iran faces significant challenges, including political unrest, economic struggles, and human rights concerns, making the need for prayer greater than ever. Let’s pray for Iran, asking God to work powerfully in the hearts of its people and to bring peace and renewal to this nation.
