Just before Easter, in a country near Iran, members of a Persian-speaking church met an Iranian refugee couple and their son who needed help finding somewhere to stay. As well as helping them find a place, the Christians offered them a copy of the New Testament.

They were surprised by the mother’s excited reaction: “I’ve wanted to know about Jesus for a long while,” she explained. “I had a dream in which Jesus appeared to me. He said, ‘You are my daughter, and I am your Lord’.”

The woman had searched for a New Testament without success – until now. Right there on the street, the whole family gave their hearts to Jesus. Those who led them to the Lord hope to help them start the Safar discipleship journey soon.

Please pray:

• For this family as they learn to follow Christ, and for their flourishing as they navigate a difficult chapter of their lives in a new city

• For God to be at work among the many other Iranians who heard the Gospel and received a New Testament over Nowruz (Persian New Year)

• For protection for the many house churches and small fellowships in Iran
