Today's email brought a message from Voice of the Martyrs: "Reaching Iran with the Gospel Through Satellite Broadcasts."
Iranians are incredibly open to the gospel message of Jesus' love and forgiveness. Many are disillusioned with the oppression of Islam and are desperate for the truth.
Every day, more Iranians are hearing the hopeful message of The Way, The Truth and The Life through satellite TV broadcasts.
After watching one of these broadcasts recently, an Iranian family prayed to ask Christ into their hearts. But they were worried they might not have prayed “correctly.” So they made an audio recording of their prayer and sent it to VOM's ministry broadcast partner, Iran Alive, to make sure they had done it right. Their prayer was sincere and heartfelt, and Iran Alive wrote the family to tell them their prayer was a wonderful way of entering Christ's family. The family in Iran then told their Muslim friends about Christ and played the recorded prayer for them. Within a week, 20 more Muslims had come to know Christ!
Here is the prayer that helped 20 Muslims turn to Christ.
The Voice of the Martyrs has increased its commitment to supporting Iranian satellite TV channels throughout 2012. Donations are welcomed.
