Desperate for peace, he reached out to a Christian media ministry, requesting prayer and asking many questions about the Christian faith. The Christian counselors comforted Manouchehr and shared the gospel with him, encouraging him to pray whenever he was tempted to drink. A month later, Manouchehr placed his faith in Christ. &ldquo;I have found the peace of Christ,&rdquo; he shared. &ldquo;I have been freed from my addition. I only wish I knew Jesus sooner.&rdquo; Manouchehr shared the gospel with his family members, and they also trusted in Christ. Pray for these new believers to continue growing in their faith as they reach out to others with the hope they have in Christ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.persecution.com\/globalprayerguide\/iran\/?_source_code=WBPGGPG20B\">Click here<\/a> to find out about Christian persecution in Iran and learn how to pray.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icommittopray.com\/request\/2325\/manouchehr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post a prayer for Manouchehr on iCommitToPray.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After his mother passed away from cancer, Manouchehr battled grief by drinking heavily.
