We sincerely thank everyone who prayed, donated and supported our brothers and sisters from Iran. Thanks to you, their lives were saved – most are now free, but there are still some difficulties.
On April 2025, the Court of Appeals in Tehran upheld the sentences of three Christians – Mehran, Abbas and Narges. In total, more than 41 years in prison. Thank God, they, as well as some members of their families, managed to leave the country.
Mehran was deported back to Iran and is now serving a prison sentence for his faith in Christ.
Narges, who is expecting a child, left with her husband, they need help to settle in a new place. Her sister Fariba has joined the women’s ministry led by an Iranian pastor in the diaspora. A. is the leader of a newly formed Iranian community in one of the countries of Western Asia. He is in poor health and a refugee from Iran himself, but he has opened his home to persecuted Christians. He is assisted in his ministry by his wife and his brother K., whom we previously helped to leave Iran. Pray that they will not be deported, especially Narges, as the state refuses to register even those fleeing death. The family situation of these three sisters is difficult: their father, an elderly Christian with cancer in Iran, mortgaged his house to help his daughters escape persecution, and now he and his wife are at risk of becoming homeless.
Despite everything, the ministry in Iran continues – the Gospel of John is being printed, online groups for studying the Word are operating. Persecution only strengthens the Church. Let us pray and help further – every prayer and every donation matters!
