ALPHARETTA,
GEORGIA (ANS, October 27, 2015) – News from Iran dominates our
headlines, but behind the scenes God is building His church.
According
to ELAM Ministries, (www.elam.com),
thirty years of Islamic revolution have made Iranians the most open Muslim
people in the world to Christ. And it is only the Gospel that can bring peace to
Iranians and the whole Middle East.
Now,
Iranians can read the new Persian translation of the Bible on their smart phones
and other devices via the YouVersion app.
The
celebrated Persian Bible has been released on the world’s most popular Bible
application and website. Millions in Iran have smart phones, meaning they can
access the Word digitally.
This
exciting milestone is the result of hard work by the Elam and YouVersion teams,
God’s kindness and the prayers of faithful supporters.
But
for the Gospel to be preached with power there must be prayer.
Please
pray that this digital Bible will be a great blessing and encouragement to the
Iranian church, and that it will help many seekers connect with the Word of God
for the first time.
Pray
also for: The news of this release to spread far so that many can benefit, many
believers and seekers will be encouraged, and completion of the audio version of
the New Millennium Bible.
The
mission of Elam is “to strengthen and expand the church in the Iran region and
beyond.”
