The people
of Iran live in a beautiful land with a long, illustrious
past. Here, great and ancient civilizations thrived and have
played a large part in world history. Many events in the
Bible, the Injil, happened here, and some of the first
believers came from this land of Elam. Today Iran is very
much the focus of world attention, but an important part of
what is happening in Iran is not being told.
It has
become evident the people of Iran want freedom to live and
think as they feel entitled. Many are re-evaluating what
they believe and are searching for answers to many of life’s
important questions. Many are interested in spiritual things
and the true meaning of life.
With this
hunger has come openness for new thinking. People are
desperate for a better way of life. God is preparing the
nation of Iran for great things. He is working as never
before. Many are now finding Him through satellite and other
electronic media, by the example of faithful followers of Isa (Jesus), through personal outreach, through visions, and
by reading the Bible and other related writings.
In spite of
the significant difficulties associated with being a
believer in Iran today, many Muslims are becoming followers
of Jesus. It is a wonder so many are making the decision to
follow Jesus Christ, Isa Masih. New believers know trouble
and hardship will follow when a person of the Muslim faith
makes this decision, so they have considered the cost.
All these
hopeful developments are at the heart of the largely untold
and important story of what is happening in Iran today. For
those who are genuinely interested, the creation of this
web-site seeks to help fill in this gap. Here, one can get a
glimpse of the many powerful and creative ways God is
working to bring people to himself and giving them lasting
hope. It is our desire that these accounts and these life’s stories
will impact the lives of those viewing the testimonies of
deliverance and newfound life. The subtitled videos share the story of
only a few of the many people of Iran whose lives are being
radically changed.
