We want to glorify the name of the Lord for His mercy to the Persian-speaking peoples and for the way He blesses Persian ministry in spite of all the difficulties and persecution.
Brother Mani, the leader of the modern media ministry of evangelism, was born into a non-Christian family in Iran. During his student years, he studied in Ukraine, came to believe in Christ and now serves people who speak Farsi and live in Iran, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, as well as people in the diaspora who live in Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Serbia, Europe, Canada and Australia. Since 2019, God has also blessed our team with an amazing opportunity to be a part of this ministry, because the Persian pastor-evangelist has found like-minded people in Ukraine and support in dedicating his life to proclaiming the gospel of Christ to unreached people.
Please pray for the nations that do not have access to the Church and the Gospel. Because of their boldness in preaching, many brothers and leaders in their homeland will face severe persecution, imprisonment and even death. Therefore, the Church in these countries is in dire need of mature ministers and guidance and sound teaching. Some pastors were able to flee abroad and are trying to help the church from there. There is a great need for Bibles and Christian literature. The preachers of God’s Word are facing a lot of threats from countrymen who are hostile to Christians even in democratic countries where they seek refuge. However, our brothers do not lose heart, but put a lot of efforts in developing media ministry: preparing video sermons, recording interviews, translating and printing Christian literature, dubbing video sermons, teaching small groups and small Persian-speaking communities in-person.
The Lord blesses this ministry!!! Today there is an online service in Farsi, which is called Face to Face and has a website, YouTube channel, social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter, SoundCloud, Mixcloud and Vimeo. And for a fee for Christian programs is provided weekly time on secular television YouTube channel. In addition, employees answer the personal questions of their contributors, praying with them for their needs in real time. Thanks to this ministry, dozens of Persian-speaking people receive Christ every month.
In recent years, thanks to this ministry, the new gospel-minded churches of Persian immigrants are being planted. One of such churches is actively growing and developing now! Just recently, they held a number of baptisms events, conferences, and provided various assistance to refugees.
