In a new article posted on the Christian Today website we see some great commentary from Todd Nettleton about what is happening in Iran. Click here for the full article.
Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs explains.
"The people look around, they see the poverty, they see the discontent, they're not happy so they have questions. Why isn't it working out, we're doing it the Islamic way, why isn't our country great? So, they are ripe to hear a new way," Nettleton said.
The CBN correspondent goes on to say the new way many are embracing is Christianity.
"But the faith is not new to Iran," he says, adding: "The gospel actually arrived here 500 years before Islam. Persians are believed to have been among those in Jerusalem at Pentecost."
Less than one half of one percent of the Iranian population is Christian, said Lane.

Nettleton continued: "The church is exploding in terms of numbers, but it is coming with a price. The people are arrested, they're harassed, they're persecuted, in some cases they are beaten severely. It is not an easy pathway."
