Iran is engulfed in war. Instability and violence have exploded throughout its borders, as well as the region. The situation inIran is grim. And all of the challenges today follow decades of oppressive rule and Islamist governance.
What is it like on the ground for Iranian Christians? How is the Church in Iran responding to the chaos? Are they able toreflect the light and love of Christ in the societal darkness around them? Importantly, what can Christians globally learn from the Iranian Church’s faithfulness under fire? And how can we tailor our prayers in support of our spiritual family there?
Joining the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more is David Yeghnazar. Born in Iran, David serves as the executive director of Elam Ministries – a ministry committed to training and nurturing the Church in Iran. It is difficult to hear any updates from inside Iran these days, particularly from persecuted believers. We are gratefulthat David can provide a glimpse into the current situation facing Iran’s Christians.
