Arotin is on a sacrificial journey to raise awareness for families suffering in Iran. His Father's Day message to Iranian fathers: "You are not forgotten. You are thought of. You are prayed for."

Iranian believers are facing impossible choices: feed their families or buy essential medicine. Isolation and survival have become daily realities.

But in the midst of this struggle, our pastors are traveling across Iran at great personal risk to strengthen believers both physically and spiritually. That one-to-one human touch is not only sustaining faith but opening hearts to the gospel in profoundly powerful ways.

One group of new believers had been praying for a long time that one day a Christian might visit them in their home. When a pastor arrived at their door, they saw it as a direct answer to prayer and a tangible reminder of God’s care for them.

Another testimony was from a wife who had prayed for years that her husband would come to faith in Christ. When the pastor came to visit and minister to the family, it was so touching for this man that he opened his heart to the gospel and chose to follow Jesus!

God is moving powerfully in the midst of suffering in Iran and the underground church continues to grow in remarkable ways. Increasingly, many are coming to faith after deeply personal encounters with Christ.

One such testimony is of an Iranian businesswoman recovering from surgery, in severe pain and weakness. After answering a knock at her gate, she encountered a man whose compassion and presence overwhelmed her—only for him to disappear moments later. When she returned inside, she discovered her surgical wound had completely healed. Shortly after, a tenant arrived carrying an illegal Bible and courageously shared the gospel with her. The woman later gave her life to Christ and went on to become a pastor.

Stories like this remain hidden from public view—but they point to a church that is growing, courageous and very much alive in the midst of pressure.

Please join us in praying for God;s will to be done in Iran and for the believers who continue to follow Him at great personal risk.

One month into the journey.

Arotin is deepening his sacrifice for the people of Iran. Yet for him, the end is starting to feel closer—almost in sight.

For those in Iran, the struggle is only deepening.

Even the smallest freedoms people once had are being taken away. Families and believers are carrying a weight most of us will never see.

Arotin is riding to bring their reality into view. But he can’t carry it alone.

Give to bring urgent relief to those suffering in Iran. Pray. Share so others can also pray and support.

Thank you Arotin.

For five months, Iran's internet crackdown has left many believers isolated, disconnected and under growing pressure. Yet we continue to reach Iranians beyond the regime's restrictions.

In Transform Iran's studios, senior pastors recently recorded 16 new television programs to be broadcast via satellite to believers inside Iran, addressing some of the Church's most urgent questions. Titled "War or Peace?" (a second season following last summer's popular broadcasts), the series explores difficult but essential issues:

• How should Christians respond to persecution?
• What does biblical freedom look like?
• How do we pray for leaders who are hunting us down?
• What, if any, resistance or uprising is appropriate for believers?

The first episode aired just four days after production wrapped.

The Church in Iran may be disconnected from the internet, but she is not abandoned. Through satellite television, we continue bringing biblical teaching, strengthening weary believers and reminding them they are not alone.

Government restrictions inside Iran make it easy to feel disconnected. Our Cheshme app is helping thousands of Iranians access Christian teaching, movies, books, worship, prayer and online church right from their phones.

With more than 21,000 downloads of the recently updated version, Cheshme is bringing hope, encouragement and a sense of community for those who can't gather.

What keeps someone cycling over 5,500 km for people they may never meet?

Because the people of Iran are not forgotten.

Right now, Arotin is in Romania continuing his journey. The road has brought some of his hardest days—exhaustion, uncertainty and many unexpected challenges. He is also carrying concern for his youngest daughter, who broke her arm and needs surgery back home.

And still, he continues. Why? Because faith is not free. Hope comes at a cost. Yet the Church in Iran is growing.

Give today to stand with the people of Iran.

Your support helps bring awareness, encouragement and practical help to those suffering in Iran.

In Middle Eastern culture, preserving honor is extremely important and surrender is likely unthinkable at this point. For Iranian Christians and others living under the ayatollah’s rule, the future feels deeply uncertain. Without a regime change, many fear that a weakened but intact government could lead to even greater control and oppression in the years ahead.

https://transformiran.com/newsroom/iran-us-talks/

Yet the Church presses on. We pray in faith. We pray for leaders on all sides. We pray for protection, courage, and hope for the people of Iran. And we remember that God is not surprised by any of this.

Join us in praying that, whatever lies ahead, God’s purposes for Iran will prevail and that many more people will come to know Him.

“The suffering church is part of our family. When one part of the body suffers, we all suffer.”

In a powerful conversation on the Pursuing Redemption Podcast, Lana paints a sobering and hope-filled picture of life for believers in Iran today.

Families are struggling to secure even basic food and daily necessities. Crackdowns and surprise raids have left many believers increasingly isolated and under intense pressure for their faith.

And yet — the underground church is growing.

Supernatural encounters are opening unexpected doors to faith. Internet blackouts are being bypassed through satellite TV and worship radio broadcasts. Across the country, believers are risking everything to encourage one another, serve the most vulnerable and share the gospel.

When believers in Iran suffer, the whole body suffers — and we are invited to respond with prayer, awareness and practical support. Even small sacrifices can make a real difference in sustaining families and strengthening underground believers.

On day 82 of the ceasefire, reports of Iraqi military presence and movements across parts of Iran have added yet another layer of tension to an already fragile and fearful environment.

Amid this growing pressure, a deeper reality continues inside the country.

The ceasefire has given the regime an opportunity to catch their breath, regroup, restrategize and strengthen themselves — while the people of Iran continue to be harassed and left helpless under increasing economic and repressive pressures.

In this environment, ministry becomes all the more urgent and costly.

Please pray for God to speed and protect our teams as they travel at great risk between house churches, delivering practical aid and bringing the gospel of hope to those who feel forgotten.
