Iranian Christians have a unique opportunity to advance the gospel amid increasing challenges due to Iran’s struggling economy. Rapid inflation, high unemployment and the impact of the pandemic have created severe economic woes for many inside Iran. While Iranians grow discouraged, succumbing to a grim outlook toward the state of their country, Christians inside the country share the hope available in Christ as they reach out to meet needs in the name of Jesus. Pray for increasing opportunities for Iranian Christians to share God’s love with their countrymen who are struggling. Pray that these Christians can reach their communities with the hope of the gospel.<\/p>\n
