the story of the "fastest-growing church" in the world, an underground, persecuted Christian movement in a country known for exporting radical Islamic terrorism — Iran.
People in Iran.. are fleeing Islam in droves as believers bow their knee to Jesus .. Sheep Among Wolves
...
God is moving powerfully inside of Iran
...
the best evangelist for Jesus was the Ayatollah Khomeini.. The ayatollahs brought the true face of Islam to light and people discovered it was a lie...After 40 years under Islamic law — a utopia according to them — they’ve had the worst devastation in the 5,000-year history of Iran
...
the Iranian awakening.. It owns no property, no buildings, no central leadership, and is predominantly led by women
...
Named after the Bible verse Matthew 10:16 which says, “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves,” the documentary claims "Muslim-background Iranians are leading a quiet but mass exodus out of Islam and bowing their knees to the Jewish Messiah -- with kindled affection toward the Jewish people."
But the new believers in the Islamic Republic face great risks.
...
We know that if they get us, the first thing they will do to us as a woman is rape us and then they will beat us and ultimately they will kill us," one believer said. "This is the decision we have made that we want to offer our bodies as sacrifices. Because I have this thought when I wake up, that when I leave, that door I might not come back

their goal is not planting churches but rather making disciples, the majority of whom are women..

Kudos to them. They do have to follow that verse by the letter too in Iran.

Sorry Jimmy... /s
Hope they don't remember a man claiming to be an upstanding Christian got them into this mess.
Only thing I take exception to is the author’s claim of worst devastation in 5000 years. I’m confident that Tamerlane would chuckle over that and make a few more hills of skulls to prove his rank as the top devastator of Persia.
Jimmy Carter was responsible for the creation of three of the most repressive, anti-human rights regimes in recent history, Mugabe in Zimbabwe, the Islamist Mullahs in Iran, and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Bigger than Al Sharpton’s façade church known as the “National Action Network”? Who would have thunk that the Iranians would “out Al” at fraud?
Early Christians didn’t have buildings either.

I thought they had synagogues?
One day maybe we’ll have a refuge away from Democrats, but that is a long drive.
We recently had a missionary family in our church that was in Turkey. They had pictures of baptisms and services there. Same thing as Iran, mostly women and children. All souls to save.
Wonderful news. I hope Iran has the fastest growing church, but they’ll have to go a ways to beat the growth of China’s 100 million Christian church.

Christians were kicked out of the synagogues by the 80s AD. They had home churches, just like in China.
And I do not believe he has accepted one iota of responsibility for his dereliction. The Lord is going to keep him alive until he repents. 95 and counting.
Christianity flourishes where hope in the world is destroyed.
A growing church in Iran does not need attention. This should never have been made public.
Don’t forget that he “negotiated” the deal with North Korea to let it continue developing ICBMs and Nuclear weapons.
He’s a real gem for our (and global threat) enemies.
The Church in Antioch was well established by the 50’s. Surprised they did not have their own buildings.

Egypt govt legalises status of 87 unlicensed churches..
This brings the number of churches and service buildings approved by the committee to 1,222 during the past year and a half..
