We praise God that hundreds of new Iranian and Afghan believers have been baptized in recent months in cities across the Iran region. Those baptized include some of the teenagers who were deeply impacted recently by an Elam youth discipleship conference. The large-scale baptisms have been occasions of great joy and celebration, often lasting from morning to evening. More than 100 more new believers will be baptized at an upcoming baptism service in a country close to Iran.  Please pray that all those recently baptized - and those soon to be baptized - would grow in love and knowledge of Christ, and for their witness to family and friends.  Pray also for all those involved in discipling these new believers.
