With the government demanding their names and ID numbers, they will now be even easier to track and arrest or persecute later on bogus charges. This move is most likely an attempt at emptying church buildings, however, the Christians will end up going to house churches. The Church in Iran has shown that it will not be shut down, but instead grows stronger the more they are persecuted. If you would like to help us get Bibles to the Church in Iran click HERE. Christians in Syria Forced to Flee in One Day?Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012With many of their homes currently occupied by militants, and shops looted, many Christians have moved away.

We have shouted about this for years and have torn our hair out at the lack of any meaningful way to change the kidnappings. The elephant in the room of course, is Islam. The mistreatment of all women and Christian women (the lowest of the low) is well documented and comes from the Quran/Hadith/Muhammad.

Iran Launches New Wave of Attacks on ChristiansFriday, May 18th, 2012CBN and Gary Lane do great work with this video being the latest example. The video highlights the need for prayer support for Iranian Christians. It is also really encouraging because it reveals what most people in the West don’t know.
