Iranian Christians in Desperate Situation

Uncertainty looms for the people of Iran, as believers there pray for a better future for their country. An indigenous ministry assisted by Christian Aid Mission oversees more than 3,600 house churches and pleads for help for the Christians under their care.

Many Iranian believers are in desperate situations since early January, when the regime responded to a widespread strike by shopkeepers with extreme violence, killing thousands of people.

You can help meet the urgent need for food and medicine, as many people—including many house church leaders—have lost their jobs, and the price of food has skyrocketed.

“The need is even greater now,” the ministry leader said. “We have families who have lost loved ones…and families struggling to feed themselves right now. If you can continue to meet various humanitarian needs, we will distribute accordingly.”

A church leader who works as a barber has lost 70% of his customers. “He is the sole provider for his family, supporting an elderly mother and a sister,” the leader said. “He explained that his family has no basic food supplies at home.”

How to Pray for Iran

  • Pray that, despite the oppressive restrictions of Shariah law, multitudes of Iranians would come to know the one true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
  • Pray for boldness, courage, and wisdom for Iranian Christians as they seek to live out their faith and share the gospel with others at great risk to themselves and their families.
  • Pray for those believers who are currently suffering in prison for their commitment to Christ—that their release would happen soon and that they would remain faithful to the Lord while in chains.

God Demonstrates His Power in Iran
Three Christians told a seriously ill, elderly man in Iran they had come only to help him and offered him fruit and meat. He reviled them for 20 minutes, questioning why they had come and who had sent them. When they asked to pray for him, his only response was, “Never! Prayer can’t help me. I’m waiting to die!”
