This week's card is inspired by the Middle Eastern Nation of Iran. Religious persecution there is severe and Christians there fear for their lives. Believers meet together in secret locations- underground churches- to pray and worship even though secret churches are often raided and leaders are imprisoned- or worse- for years.
Please, pray for the Christians in Iran and pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit would lead to a spiritual awakening in Iran. That Christians will continue to be bold in their faith...no matter the consequences, and, like Paul, those doing the persecuting will find Jesus and turn their lives over to Him.
Fun Fact:
Iranians LOVE tea. Tea is served black without sugar at all gatherings and most Iranians have tea after each meal. Here is the card that was inspired by this fun fact:
Here is a link to some more information about religion and persecution in Iran. Please, pray for the people there.
- *Pray for believers in isolation. Many Christians don’t dare to share their faith with anyone around them, or don’t know any other believers. They depend on online resources to learn more about God.
- *Pray for Christians who are currently locked up in prison for their faith. The conditions in Iran’s prisons are very poor and the pandemic has only made the situation worse.
- *Pray for those who advocate for the rights of Christians in Iran, both within and outside the country, that they would be listened to and that God would protect them.
