Following a botched 2015 nuclear deal with the U.S., firm sanctions on Iran have weakened their economy and further tainted the public opinion of the only Islamic Theocracy in the world. |
As the access to basic necessities and governmental planning worsens, the people of Iran are further disillusioned with the Islamic utopia the government promised. These are just a few of the many factors that are contributing to Iran hosting the fastest-growing church in the world. |
Qom, the second holiest city in Shia Islam, is a strategic staging post for the church in Iran as hundreds of thousands of Muslims pilgrimage to the city yearly. |
Prayer Emphasis |
Pray for the Lord of the Harvest to send forth thousands of Spirit-led and compassionate workers to multiply house churches in the 4 languages spoken in Qom, especially among the Persian and Afghani Tajik people groups. |
Pray for the gospel SURGE teams as they risk their lives in obedience to Jesus to plant churches; pray for their safety, for courage, and for supernatural wisdom |
