The Christian Church in Iran wants you to know: We’re ‘still alive’
For many Iranian believers, going to a building they call a church is something they can only dream about. Instead, they secretly meet in houses, gathering in their homes with several other believers and avoiding the attention of the government. At least, that’s how things were until coronavirus came to Iran.
Iranian Christians faced a significant question: Can a secret church continue to exist under a lockdown? If it wasn’t for online tools and workers, it would have been extremely difficult. But with support through partners, what was difficult has become a spark for the church in Iran, Salomeh, one of Irans dedicated believers of Jesus told Open Doors.
“In this time of crisis we have over 10 hours of prayer meetings every day,” she says. “We created a special prayer schedule that we call ‘Frontline,’ where prayer members can virtually walk in and out to come to pray together.”
“The Church in Iran is still alive, even though church buildings are closed, even though a pandemic is terrorizing our country. I pray that one day we will all be standing in front of God’s throne knowing we’ve done our part in the Kingdom.” Salomeh concluded.
