Impacting Iran with the Good News of the Gospel through Christ-centered media production.

08/23/2026

✨ For over 40 years, Christians in Iran have faced persecution, arrests, prison sentences, and displacement simply for living out their faith. Yet through it all, the church has refused to disappear.

Believers continue to pray, worship, gather, and share the hope of Christ. They are not just surviving. They are thriving.

🙏 Please join us in praying for every believer in Iran who is paying a price for holding on to their faith. Pray for their strength, protection, courage, and freedom.

🔄 Share this post and invite others to stand with the persecuted church in prayer.

✨ Please join us in praying for Mahshar Parandin, a Christian convert and mother currently being held in Evin Prison.

Mahshar has been diagnosed with lymphoma and is in urgent need of medical treatment. As she faces this difficult battle from inside prison, we ask you to pray for her healing, protection, strength, and freedom.

👉 Please share this post and invite others to join us in prayer.

✨ Since the war began, thousands of Christians in Iran have been arrested, disappeared, and sentenced to death simply for following Jesus. Churches have been demolished. Families have been torn apart.

But here is what the regime cannot imprison.

Iran is home to one of the fastest growing Christian communities in the world. And no amount of arrests, demolished churches, or death sentences has been able to stop what God is doing in that nation.

🙏🏻 Please join us today in praying for our brothers and sisters in Iran who are holding on to their faith no matter what it costs them.

Last night's memorial program in LA for my uncle Rev. Edward Hovsepian was a beautiful success, and we are deeply grateful for the incredible turnout and support. In a few days we'll post the full video of the event.
Thank you to everyone who traveled from near and far, my friends in the Iranian artists community, and our amazing volunteers. Your love and support meant so much to me and the Hovsepian family.

God bless you.

✨ Yesterday, these men were publicly hanged in a town square in Isfahan.

Their families have not even been allowed to receive their bodies.

In January, Iranians took to the streets in one of the largest protests in the history of the Islamic Republic. The regime’s response was devastating.

Over 50,000 massacred. Over 350,000 injured. Over 50,000 arrested. Now a wave of public ex*****ons to silence anyone who dares to speak up.

This is the deadliest crackdown in the Islamic Republic’s 47-year history . At least 60 more people remain at risk of ex*****on today, including three who were arrested as children.

🙏 Please join us in praying for Iran today. Pray for the families, the prisoners, and the church that is still standing in the middle of all of this.

✨ Following Jesus in Iran is not a decision you make once.

It is a decision you make every single morning when you wake up knowing what it could cost you that day.

Iranian believers have lost jobs, families, and in some cases their lives simply for carrying the name of Christ. They worship underground. They pray in secret. They share their faith knowing the risk is real.

🙏 Please join us today in praying for our brothers and sisters in Iran. Pray for their peace, their protection and their freedom.

✨ Please join us in praying for Ghazal Marzban.

Ghazal has endured imprisonment, a hunger strike, physical abuse, and the denial of medical care because of her Christian faith. Even in the midst of suffering, she continues to stand firm.

As Ghazal faces these hardships, her husband is also struggling with Parkinson’s disease and limited access to the medication he needs.

🙏🏻 Please join us today in praying for Ghazal and her husband. Pray for their health, their strength, and for the day she walks out of Evin Prison free.

✨ More than 250 Christians were arrested in Iran last year simply for their faith in Jesus Christ.

The sentences are getting longer. The treatment is getting harsher.

And yet in the middle of all of it, over 1 million Christians are living inside Iran. It is one of the most oppressive countries in the world to follow Jesus, and also the fastest growing Christian nation on Earth.
The regime cannot stop what God is doing.

🙏 Please join us today in praying for every Christian in Iran. Pray for their protection, their freedom, and for the day the persecution ends.
