Illegal Bibles Change Lives in Iran

3/24/2023　Iran　(Morning Star News)

Iran is a country with severe persecution of Christians, but the Church in Iran is among the fastest growing Churches in the world. Owning, printing, importing or distributing Bibles in Iran is illegal. Since they are so difficult to obtain, Bibles are treasured by Iranian believers, and few have their own copy of God’s Word. Despite the prohibitions and scarcity, Christians in Iran are working on placing copies of God’s Word into people’s hands. When they receive a shipment of Bibles, our Iranian brothers and sisters hand-deliver the Bibles to strangers. They knock on the doors of people they don’t know and give Bibles to anyone who will accept the gift, sometimes placing the Bibles in mailboxes. Many Iranian Muslims are reading the Bible for the first time after unexpectedly receiving one in their mailbox and are becoming followers of Christ.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will guide those who are giving away Bibles to give them to those whose hearts are prepared by Him to believe in Christ.
• Pray that those who read the Bible and become Christians will find other Christians to fellowship and worship with.
• Pray that government officials will be saved and that the nation will be transformed by the power and love of Jesus Christ.
