Rationale
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, many Iranians have become disillusioned with Islam. More Iranians are known to have become Christians in the last 25 years than during the previous 1,300 years since Islam came to Iran. Iranians today are the most open Muslim people to the Gospel in the world.
The spiritual hunger of Iranians is a window of opportunity for the church to reach the heart of the Muslim world. If we can proclaim the Gospel to the people of the region, there would be Church growth on a scale not seen before in the Muslim world.
Vision
Elam's vision is that all the people of the Iran Region would have the opportunity to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him as a disciple, and that they would be instrumental in taking the Gospel to other Muslims.
Mission
The mission of Elam is to strengthen and expand the Church in the Iran Region and beyond.
