One of the fastest growing church's in the world is Iran,but there is a price to pay,and many are paying it,here are a few names, Vahid Hakkani, Behnam Irani, Mohammed Roghangir ,Alireza Seyyedian,,they are just a few of the people who have served time in prison. Here are another few names, who are serving time in prison Joseph Shabazian (10 years) ,Mina ( 6 years) Malihe ( 6 years).There are so many more we can mention,in some other Islamic countries to convert to Christianity brings with it a death sentence.Yes the church is growing in so many parts of the world but there is a price to pay, In Acts 1 v 8,our Saviour said to those early disciples and to all His church,' But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem,and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth'.This has not been rescinded ,what Jesus said all those years ago,still stands.How did they do it ?by the power of God's Spirit, and they did it,turning the world upside down, even conquering the great Roman Empire.Not with weapons of war but by the power of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Let us not be ashamed or afraid
to proclaim the gospel'.
