Ministry in Iran continues, despite persecution
Radical. net ^ | Nov 17, 2025 | Jamie Dean Posted on by CondoleezzaProtege In the weeks after a series of airstrikes shook Iran this summer, a house-church pastor organized a small team to deliver hot meals to neighbors. In the war’s aftermath, many Iranians were overwhelmed by food scarcity and mounting debts. A bowl of hot soup may seem small compared to a stew of global conflict, but to struggling families in Iran, the practical help pointed to a powerful gospel. Jesus the living bread. The kindness of believers pointed to the compassion of Christ. Sam Ahmadi spoke with the house-church pastor and came away deeply encouraged: “It was a vivid reminder that a bowl of soup can become a bridge to someone’s soul.” It’s a bridge Iran needs, even if it’s a risky one for Iranian Christians to build. Since the July conflict, Iranian authorities have arrested more than 50 believers, falsely accusing them of spying. Many remain in jail. Others wonder what’s next. But still, ministry continues. Meanwhile, efforts to meet physical needs have included supplying food packages and health supplies through trusted contacts. “Our goal is not just to respond to crisis, but to build a foundation for spiritual growth and multiplication,” says Sam. “Healthy churches led by local believers will be the key to lasting transformation in Iran.” For Iranian believers, that means trusting Christ, even as they suffer. Sam writes: “The suffering of the Iranian church is not a sign of God’s absence but a call to draw closer to him.” He asks the global church to pray that the Lord will draw more Iranians to saving faith in Christ, and that God will protect believers who continue to make Jesus known to those around them. “The church in Iran is our family,” he says. “Its suffering is our suffering, and its hope is our hope.” (Excerpt) Read more at radical. net .
