Iran Crisis + Discipleship Growth

The Church in Iran Is Under Fire—But It’s Growing Faster Than Ever

In the middle of persecution, the underground Church is thriving. 60 were baptised in one day—but pastors and new believers are desperate for training.

Watch: What’s Really Happening Inside Iran Right Now

Hear from Jason Law, just back from meeting 50 underground pastors.

With persecution rising, the need for leadership training and discipleship resources is more urgent than ever. They’re asking for our help.

One pastor arrested within 48 hours of attending our training.
Police raided a pastor’s home during a scheduled call.
Most house churches are capped at 20 people. The demand for new leaders is multiplying.

“We are excited about all the people coming to know Jesus and the Bibles we send—but we must be just as excited about discipling new believers and training pastors.”
—Jason Law, President

Sara Drives 2 Hours Into the Desert for Church

Sara and her children drive two hours to meet in a tent under candlelight. Their pastor, trained through our leadership track, teaches Scripture with code names and courage.

The light of Christ is impossible to hide.
