Pray with us today

No prayer is available for today yet

More than 40 Christians in Iran were arrested in December 2024 for taking part in Christmas celebrations. Arrests of Farsi (Persian)-speaking Christians are a regular occurrence in Iran, but there are often more arrests at Christmas and Easter as a means of preventing believers from meeting in unrecognised “house churches”. Farsi-speaking Christians are converts from Islam – that is, apostates. Unlike the historic Christian communities of Iran they are not allowed to worship. Intercede for our recently arrested brothers and sisters, and pray for a day when all Christians in Iran will be allowed to worship freely.
