“However, the church there is growing incredibly. In Iran there is a revival that maybe is only rivaled by the Chinese revival [of recent years]. Honest, seeking Muslims are having dreams of Jesus Christ.

“Some are being approached by what we can only call angels in parks and being confronted with their personal sins and told they need to come to Jesus Christ. It’s a revival the likes of which we’ve rarely seen in the history of the church. It’s been Holy Spirit-driven through dreams and visions and the technology available to us in the 21st century.”

A longtime missionary to Iran says that “the rate of growth of Christianity in Iran is unprecedented for a Muslim country, especially for Iran. We’ll hear that in a certain city there are 200 house churches, whereas there were none before.”

WOW!!!

“One of the direct results of martyrdom in Iran has been the increasing zeal of Christians, especially Muslim-background Christians,” Andre says. “When they see an Armenian man, my dad, who gave his life for Iran and for his faith, that really increases their passion for God.

“They ask, ‘Why would someone give their life?’ And this journey starts within them. Then they go tell their friends, and this is how it multiplies.” Joel Kilpatrick is an author, award-winning reporter and creator of LarkNews.com, the world’s leading religion humor site

What have you DONE to help?!

Would I be wrong to guess that the name Hovsepian is Armenian in origin - one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, threatened throughout their modern history by Moslems.

Islam is the religion of cowardice, duplicity, violence, and banditry.

The muslim world is the greatest mission field right now. The Lord spirit is moving in this realm.

I will have the privilege, this summer, to bring the gospel to the muslims that travel from Algeria and Morocco to France, to work. We will be distributing New Testaments, the "Jesus Film" in their language, and other materials. It is a short term mission. I would appreciate your prayers for our safety and that the Lord would prepare the hearts that will receive the materials. To Him be the glory.
