Thanks for this thread and all you do. Not sure if this is relevant to what you do but I thought I would pass it along. At my church this past Sunday, we had a visit from a woman originally from Iran who had conveted to Christianity. She currently runs a program that broadcasts The Word via satellite to Iran.

They have not been heard from since.
