In one month, Persian speakers will celebrate their most beloved annual holiday: Nowruz, or Persian New Year, on March 20th.

Many Iranians will travel to visit family in this holiday period. Amid the festivities, Iranian Christians are praying for opportunities to share the Gospel. It's a season when many New Testaments are given as gifts because Christians know this is a key way God is drawing people to Himself.

Please pray for: 

• Courage, wisdom, and protection for Iranian believers who are seeking to share Jesus with their friends and family members

• Many people to encounter Jesus through God's Word this Nowruz, as we have seen in previous years
