Christians in Iran continue to share the Gospel with boldness—even in these days of war. In a time marked by a mix of hope, fear, and uncertainty, this witness requires deep courage. The regime has shown its willingness to crush any perceived opposition, and those who speak openly about Christ risk being accused of “propaganda against the regime,” facing abuse or even long prison sentences. 

And yet, their courage is not in vain. For many years, Iranians have shown a deep openness to the Christian faith—and in this present moment of crisis, that openness appears to be growing. 

Even now, stories are emerging. A group of nine Christians chose to keep meeting together despite the dangers of war. As they gathered, those around them noticed their peace. Friends and family started asking questions, wanting to understand the source of this strength. In just a few weeks, that small church has grown from nine members to twenty-one—a pattern that may be unfolding quietly in many places across the country. 

With Christians responding to the darkness like this, there could be an explosion of interest in Christ, Iran’s only hope.
