As the conflict in Iran intensifies, the persecuted Christian community appears to be growing. Estimates suggest there are between one and two million Christians in Iran, all facing persecution. Even though evangelism is illegal and Islam remains the dominant religion, many pastors and church members strive to promote Bibles translated into Persian, according to reports.

A particular organization addressing this urgent need is Bible for Iran. They offer both written and audio versions of the Bible. Current reports indicate that internet access in Iran is severely limited—around just 1% of typical levels—because authorities are controlling communications. As a result, many are left with limited access to news, making printed Bibles critically needed. For those interested in helping, more details are available via email.
Armenian Church accepts Iranian refugees
CBN has reported that a church situated in Armenia, which borders Iran, is welcoming Iranian Christian refugees. One refugee discussed the harsh realities faced under the Iranian regime, explaining how their community has endured oppression for decades without hope of liberation.
For many, arriving in Armenia brings mixed emotions. There’s sadness for friends and families left behind who continue to suffer, but also gratitude for the support provided by the U.S. and other nations.
Numerous Armenian churches are collaborating with humanitarian groups like Operation Blessing, which stocks hygiene kits, food, and emergency supplies for the impending influx of Iranian refugees. The organization has strong ties with local Armenian pastors and communities who assist in putting these packages together.
Revelation Media is committed to partnering with Iran’s underground church
Another organization involved with Iran’s underground church is Revelation Media. They’re focused on producing various forms of Christian media, including the iBible Storybook. CEO Steve Cleary recently indicated that these resources would be aimed specifically at evangelism, as many Iranians are turning away from Islam in search of deeper truths.
Cleary also mentioned a commitment to print 50,000 copies of ‘The True Story of Jesus’ in Persian, highlighting how the current chaos presents unique opportunities for sharing the gospel amidst danger. For more about their mission, further information can be found online.
