Merciful Father, we rejoice with Yusef today, declaring the promise of Psalm 150:6 over the underground leadership training school he leads in Ahvaz, Iran. “Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!”
Thank you for the new Jesus Followers who are being commissioned to grow house churches through this training, for the launch of men’s and women’s ministries, and especially for the training of youth and children of all ages. We ask for the protection of Yusef’s family and for a spirit of generosity from all the nearby house churches to provide the ministry’s daily needs. From this base, may the nations of the earth join in the chorus of praise You deserve. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Psalm 117:1, “Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth.”
Gracious Father, we intercede with Prisca today, who leads a prayer ministry and a Safe House near Karaj, Iran. Thank you for the privilege of lifting up her needs today to provide food, spiritual training/materials, and trauma counseling for those who are finding refuge in You. From Your word in Psalm 117:1, we speak over Prisca and all she cares for: “Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth.” May all those who are blessed by Prisca and her ministry shine for You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. |

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.
Karaj is the capital city of the Alborz province in north-central Iran. Karaj is a major producer of steel, automobiles, machinery, and textiles.
