Iran’s Christians face persecution daily, and choosing to accept Jesus Christ means living a life of secrecy and constant fear. SAT-7, a Christian satellite television service to the Middle East and North Africa, created ‘God and the Persecuted’ to equip Iran’s house churches to persevere through persecution and develop techniques of endurance. The hosts are Rev Albert Aslan and Rev Edward Hovsepian. They use the Gospel and stories from church history to encourage underground believers in Iran through the television program. Each episode focuses on a topic relating to modern-day persecution, using stories from centuries of church history to show that this isn’t the first time that Christians have faced severe persecution, nor will it be the last. Pray for the Iranian house churches to be strong and continue to grow as they face adversity in a godly way.
