Behind the headlines of protests, government crackdowns, and deepening economic crisis in Iran, a quieter story is unfolding – one rarely told. It is the story of a resilient and growing community of Jesus followers who live under constant pressure, isolation, and surveillance, yet continue to cling to hope. In this episode of the Unconventional Ministry podcast, we go beyond the news cycle to hear what everyday Iranians are truly facing and how faith endures when public worship is impossible and gathering as the church can be dangerous.
You’ll discover how SAT-7 PARS, a 24/7 Persian-language Christian multimedia ministry, is responding with courage and creativity.
