Believers In Iran Risk Their Lives To Give Bibles


Some Members Of House Churches In Iran Try To Give One Bible To A Non-Believer Every Day

IRAN, July 22, 2010 (MNN) ― Christians in Iran are remaining faithful witnesses, even at the risk of death.

Vision Beyond Borders said that in some house churches across Iran, believers conclude their service by praying over New Testaments. Then, each believer takes seven New Testaments with them, handing out at least one copy each day to a non-believer.

In this radical Muslim country, if they were caught, the punishment would be death. However, they are willing to lay down their lives to spread the Gospel.

In fact, instead of letting the persecution dissuade them from being bold witnesses, they are letting it fan the flames of a revival spreading across Iran. With current oppression in the country, more Iranians are looking for answers other than the ones they have always been fed, and they are finding these answers in Jesus Christ.

Iranian believers are a reminder of how everyone should share the Gospel, despite risks. Pray for these believers to continue in their boldness.
