Over 700 Stand Up for Jesus amid Church Questioning in Iran

"They value the precious treasure they've found; they're willing to lose everything for…the sake of finding Christ."
(Tehran, Iran)—Last month, governmental authorities in Iran put more pressure on Christians in the country by demanding personal details of members of a Tehran church.
Divulging personal information is risky as an Operation Mobilization worker explained to Mission Network News at Urbana 12, "[Former] Muslims who follow Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there are often huge obstacles and problems…they'll lose their jobs, their bank accounts are frozen, and in general, life becomes very difficult."
That in mind, it was thought that maybe 100 at the most would come forward, however, over 700 stepped up, and according to the MNN report, "gave their names and addresses and said, 'Here we are. Here's where we stand.'"
Calling Christians in Iran resilient, the OM worker noted that "they value the precious treasure they've found; they're willing to lose everything for . . . the sake of finding Christ."
The worker added that one of the best ways for Believers around the world to stand with the Church in Iran is to pray for them.
