Presentation transcript:

THE #9 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Under sharia (Islamic) law, Christians who evangelise to Muslims can be thrown in prison or have their churches closed. Christian media monitored by the government and believers using such websites or channels are tracked down. Despite this, the Church in Iran continues to grow.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for the church leaders, that they will have wisdom as they shepherd their congregation. Pray for those imprisoned or isolated because of their faith, that they will not feel alone, but feel connected to the global body of Christ. Pray for further growth of the Church and that many more will come to know, understand, and share the Gospel.
