IN the NEWS - IRAN: If this is True.......

IF this is true--then Amen, amen. Numbers 5:22

"Gary Lane described how an “unprecedented number of Muslims are choosing to follow Christ, especially in Iran as people search for a better life.”
“You have a country with one of the highest drug addiction rates in

the world. You have a country where corruption runs rampant. You have a country where more than half the people live below the poverty line,” said Todd Nettleton of The Voice of the Martyrs, a non-governmental organization focused around providing support for persecuted Christians.
Nettleton said that over a million Muslims had left the faith for Christianity and two-thirds of the country’s 75,000 mosques had closed — a claim that had been echoed in other outlets like U.S.-based Iran International, but which is difficult to verify given the nature of Iran’s closed society.
“We have heard multiple stories this year of Bible study, a home church being raided. Everyone there is photographed; everyone there is questioned. But then the leader of the meeting is held on to. They are arrested. They are detained. They’re put in prison.”
The move toward Christianity is a surprising one for those of us familiar with Iran only as a merciless theocratic state. 

Yet, this isn’t a new phenomenon; in a 2023 piece for the Washington Stand, a Christian outlet, Lela Gilbert noted that a significant survey taken in 2020 by Gamaan, a secular Netherlands-based research group, reported that there are far greater numbers of Christian believers in Iran than ever before — more than a million. In fact, those involved with the ‘house church’ movement in Iran are convinced that there are likely several million Christian believers there."
