More than 240 Iranians were baptised recently in two large celebrations in the Iran region. According to Elam Ministries a further sixteen were baptised in a smaller service, and about 200 more are to be baptised at a fourth celebration. These baptism services are joyful day-long gatherings, with sessions of worship, preaching, prayer for the nation of Iran, Holy Communion and shared meals. In a separate story, Elam Ministries announced that 30,000 copies of the ‘Action Bible’ have come off the press. This version of the Bible for children and youth was launched in Persian in 2013 and has been incredibly popular. Another 150,000 New Testaments were also printed recently, ready for more evangelism in the Iran region.
