The Gospel is in Iran (But Can Christians Survive?) || Documentary Series Pt. 3

In this episode of Neighborhoods & Nations, Steven Morales examines how the gospel is spreading across Iran. Despite the Iranian regime’s attempt to censor outside influences, the gospel is accessible in Iran. Nima Alizadeh, a Christian leader who was forced to leave Iran, warns that the prosperity gospel is affecting the Iranian church. Steven and Nima discuss how Farsi-speaking Christians outside Iran are using the internet to spread contextualized, biblical resources with those inside the country.

I live in Iran as a Christian and I do not fear anything because we know that Jesus gave us the spirit of Love and power not the spirit of fear, my life is pretty hard but it doesn't mean I shall give up

[M.Mupf.M]

This is when you realise what a privilege it is to pray freely, worship freely, evangelise freely. May Jesus Christ comfort all His children in such persecuted regions.

[snehasara]

I am Indian a And a Christian., Here too we suffer from persecution but not like Iran but to live in some kind of fear is very disheartening some times .. pray for us too so we can have religious freedom in India and not be persecuted... Let's pray for the persecuters that lord change their minds and open their eyes to love of Jesus

[Hermesborugerdian]

As a Persian Jew I vouch for all of this. Most of my “Muslim” friends growing up are almost all now Christian evangelical or Zoroastrian reverts.

As an Iranian Christian this made me feel less lonely.

[certinstructorron]

I'm a Persian too. My ancestors came from Israel 2, 700 years ago. I too hear these stories. I'm a believer in Yeshua, after an angel came and spoke Yeshua's word to me and my brother. I share every chance I get !

[jonalid.johnsonjonali.john]

Lord bless Iranian Christians with strong faith and hope. Amen 🙌

[aliasadee]

I'm an Iranian atheist and I thank you for sharing this informative and educational content. Let's all hope for a free Iran where everyone can freely express themselves.

[alans]

As many in the west have started to fall away from Christ, it is nice to see true belief take root with a strong people. May the gospel be preached and God be praised.

[SELAHPAUSE]

LORD PLEASE CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL OF OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS AROUND THE WORLD AND LET US IN THE EAST NOT TAKE OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR GRANTED👆🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

[markwarne]

Let's pray for the world, every country that they hear the Gospel and that God will send more laborers into the harvest 🙏

Also happening in Indonesia🇮🇩 persecution since many many years ago some were lost their lives, yet lots of unbelievers became believers in Christ the savior.
Praise to the Lord the Creator of heaven and earth, Amen.

[aetius]

The christians in roman era managed to survive under 300 years of persecution by roman emperors. They even managed to despite the daily executions of suspected christians, convert many pagan romans.

The era of martyrs (anno martyrum) from reign of nero to doctelanian. Saw christianity spread across the empire. From alexandria egypt, to londonium.

If roman christians can survive, even thrive under persecution. So too can iranian christians.

My Iranian friend has been revising the Farsi Bible through the trinitarian Bible society. The NT is complete. The gospel of John was secretly printed in Iran. My friend also has a farsi fellowship in the UK. He grew up Zoroastrian.

I work with Iranian refugees in Greece and it is very interesting to see, how so many of them are searching for what's true and take a look at the Christian perspective on Jesus. It is a blessing to see how God uses his new believers already to go into all the world as witnesses. So many of them 1. Dream of Jesus 2. Heard the Bible in their heart language 3. Talked to a Christian for the first time. 4. Got access to the gospel in their heart language. Almost all Believers with Muslim Background share these 4 things.

Some are losing God (especially the west ) and others are finding

[exxotronehomes]

After watching this video I feel so bad 😢, You know what they say "You don't know the value of what you have until you lose it" As A Nigerian 🇳🇬 we take this freedom of worship for granted. I can't even remember the last time I went to church 🛐. God have mercy on me 🙏 and there you have people being killed for going to church. God bless every Christian believer out there and see you all through in Jesus' Name Amen 🙏 sending love ❤️ ❤ to you all

[nkhand]

Wow! As an American, I wonder if I could stay as faithful. I will be praying more diligently for our brothers and sisters in persecuted countries. Thank you for this series'. Maranatha!

[dest]

Excellent series and so needed. I had the privilege of baptising a young Iranian girl here in the UK. I didn't quite understand why she was so keen to say she was Persian, but now I understand. May they stay strong in their faith and may the Lord raise up solid servants to stand against the deceptive teachings coming from the West.

[imimpo]

Let us all pray for our Persian sisters and brothers!
Both for those, who still haven't fond the Truth, and those who already know Christ!
