Iran Prayer Campaign 

For the last two years, Iran has ranked 3rd on the Open Doors “World Watch List”--countries where persecution of Christians is the worst--surpassed only by North Korea and Saudi Arabia. Christianity accounts for only .33% of the population, according to the most recent edition of Operation World. The Iranian Church has grown stronger in recent years, but it has also faced more government intrusion, expropriation of property, forced closures and other forms of persecution. As stated in this month’s issue of Frontline Faith, Open Doors USA has launched a major initiative to strengthen and encourage Christians who are suffering under this harsh Islamic regime. While the enemy is strong, God’s Spirit is at work, often in unseen ways. Please join us in praying with boldness and authority for Iran.
