National Conference: Iran update

Our first international speaker, from Iran, shared how a new law there makes the death penalty mandatory for conversion from Islam to another faith; yet the church marches on. Brave Christians are giving away copies of the JESUS Film and other Christian materials, and Muslims are hungry to hear the Good News of Jesus.

One day when our speaker was evangelizing in Iran, he was pushed to the ground and roughed up by a radical Muslim. "You are not going to do this again," the Muslim told him. But instead of stopping, our friend has continued to share the gospel. He shared one story of giving a Bible to an official…and today that official and his entire family are followers of Christ.

Our speaker thanked VOM and our readers for providing Bibles, videos and other evangelism tools that they are using to plant the seeds of the gospel in Iran. He encouraged all of us to pray for the church there, and for brave Christ-followers who are witnessing at great risk for Him.
