Since the Islamic revolution of 1979, the government has opposed Christianity. Bibles are banned, evangelism is illegal, and converts face the death sentence. The disillusioned population of 66 million are more open to the Gospel than those in any other Muslim-majority nation in the world..
Iran has an estimated 23 million internet users. Every week thousands access Christian websites. Satellite TV also has a huge impact. Despite the government ban, an estimated 28 million are watching. Several house churches have been established through Christian TV ministry. Most households have a DVD player, and in 2008, 50,000 copies of the Jesus film were made, and more are already needed. Magdalene--Released from Shame is popular among women, and the Story Keepers cartoon series is watched by some children over 20 times a week!
Prayer Points
1. Pray for seekers to find Christ as they spend time on the internet.
2. Pray for lone Christians and house churches that rely on Christian TV.
3. Pray for millions of Christian DVDs to flood Iran
