This summer (2019) 25 Iranian believers will be graduating from Elam's three-month leadership and church planting course. They will go on to serve the Persian-speaking church as evangelists, ministry leaders and church planters in Iran and nearby countries. As they minister they will continue to be mentored and trained by Elam. The group includes: A: who has been imprisoned twice for her faith K: who has become a bold evangelist S: who was neglected as a child but now knows she has a voice for Christ P: who has memorized vast portions of the Bible M: who has a heart to reach those suffering with depression  Please pray for the students in the final weeks of their course as they prepare for ministry.    Pray for 20+ students who will start the three-month course during the summer.
