DAY 29 - April 7

Tehran, Iran

People Groups Focus

Tehran was first chosen as the capital of Iran by Agha Mohammad Khan of the Qajar dynasty in 1786. Today it is a megalopolis of 9.5 million people.

Following a botched 2015 nuclear deal with the US, firm sanctions on Iran have weakened their economy and further tainted the public opinion of the only Islamic theocracy in the world. As the access to basic necessities and governmental planning worsens, the people of Iran are further disillusioned with the Islamic utopia promised by the government.

These are just a few of the many factors that contribute to Iran hosting the fastest growing Jesus-following church in the world. Pray that Iranians’ desires for greatness, prosperity, freedom, and even for righteousness will ultimately be met through worship of Jesus.

Scripture

“And whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ And if a man of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him; but if not, it will return to you.”
Luke 10:5 (NASB)

Prayer Emphasis

Pray for strength and boldness in the launching of God-glorifying house churches in the Gilaki, Mazanderani, and Persian UUPGs.
Pray that believers in government, business, education, and the arts would have influence for the gospel.
Pray for the awakening and strengthening of believers who have been in hiding. Pray that they have boldness in sharing their faith.
Pray for the Kingdom of God to come in signs, wonders, and power and for the multiplication of outreach, disciple making, and church planting in the 31 provinces of Iran.

Thanks for praying with us –

See you tomorrow!
