Iran: newest house church

A new house church was born in mid-April in Iran and the church’s new pastor, tells how it happened.

‘An old neighbour of mine – let’s call him Amir – bumped into my brother. They got chatting and ended up discussing Christianity. My brother mentioned that I was a Christian. Amir got very excited and asked to be put in touch with me.

‘We had an incredible conversation. Amir had become disillusioned with his religion and began searching for truth. He heard the gospel from a TV programme, and became a Christian. He was so thirsty to learn more about God, and he told me about seven other new believers he knows. He explained they have no one to teach them. We agreed that Amir and his friends will gather in his home weekly. I’m arranging to send Bibles to this group, which is possibly Iran’s newest church.’ Please pray for rapid growth in maturity and numbers, and protection.
