Summary

SummaryI never imagined that faith in Jesus would cost me my career and my home. When twelve officers burst through my door one sweltering morning in Iran, my heart pounded as they refused to spare my child. They interrogated me in a glass room, demanding the names of everyone in my church. 😒 Yet in that darkest hour, I prayed: β€œLord, protect my child and give me strength.” Though we fled our beloved country and our future remains uncertain, I trust that God has a purpose for me. πŸ™ Now, I stand not as a victim but as a mother and sister in Christ, helping other women whose identities have been trampled. I am not without purposeβ€”I am His instrument of hope. πŸ’–

Being a Christian in Iran is not a simple prospect. Churches are watched by authorities, and even Christian gatherings can be raided. You can lose your job or your home, and face imprisonment. Simin* has lived through this, this is her story.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
