In this episode, we’re celebrating 35 years of Ministry at Elam. By God’s grace we have seen the church in the Iran region grow and flourish, despite government opposition and persecution. Although Iranian Christians suffer for their faith, they are passionate in sharing the Word and love of Jesus Christ with those around them.

We at Elam are filled with gratitude for the role God has given us to play in His story for Iran, and we are joyful that we get to partner in that story with you.

To our faithful prayer partners and supporters, thank you for all that you have done to uplift the church in Iran and beyond. God bless!
