Christians in Iran are showing resilience amidst escalating persecution by the government. The underground-church movement is growing and the church is expanding.
The Voice of the Martyrs recently received information from an Iranian contact that the government is increasing pressure on Christians to leave. “The government of Iran wants Christians to leave. They are increasing persecution and want them out of the country. They think driving out Christians will stop the spread of Christianity,” the VOM source said.
He added believers have lost their homes, jobs and property as a result of converting from Islam to Christianity. The Iranian government uses, fear, threats, harassment, “staged” accidents, jail and the death penalty against Christians.
VOM is helping Christians in Iran. This past summer VOM published a book called, Iran: Desperate for God with testimonies from the underground church. Many believe Iran has the fastest growing Muslim-convert-to Christ “church” in the world. Pray God gives Christians in Iran boldness to be faithful and share the gospel for Him.
