This Is Loveworld Persia!
Matthew 10:22 In the Islamic Republic of Iran, basic human rights are consistently violated. When people from Muslim backgrounds become Christians, they are at great risk of being monitored, harassed, arrested and prosecuted for “crimes against national security” by the religious authorities and government agents. Many are imprisoned or killed for their faith. Christians face increased social pressure, scrutiny and control, with underground church gatherings conducted in utmost secrecy out of necessity. Matthew 24:14 Despite severe persecution, the Christian church in Iran is perhaps the fastest growing in the world. Loveworld Persia contributes significantly to this increase by broadcasting the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Persian language around the clock into some of the most difficult places in the world to be a Christian. The Word of God is preached, Jesus’s healing power is demonstrated and the anointing of the Holy Spirit is manifested with tremendous testimonies resulting from all parts of the region. Matthew 28:19-20 The number of Christians in Iran has grown from the 370,000 estimated by Open Doors in 2013 to more than 5 million in 2023 according to multiple sources. While this is cause for celebration on earth and in heaven, it is a small percentage of the approximately 110 million Persian speakers worldwide, including Persians, Lurs, Tajiks, Hazaras, Iranian Azeris, Iranian Kurds, Balochs, Tats, Afghan Pashtuns and Aimaqs. Loveworld Persia’s mission is to make Christian programming available to Persians in all nations. Loveworld Persia beams via Yahsat directly to homes in Iran, Afghanistan and the region. The signal is received on personal satellite dishes. And because public Christian churches are outlawed, many Loveworld Persia viewers have turned their homes into secret gathering places for believers to watch together, with a significant number of these evolving into regular church meetings. In addition, Loveworld Persia maintains a robust social media presence and is available worldwide through the website and other platforms. Your Distribution Sponsorship Gifts are welcomed to help with the cost of transmission and satellite time. The majority of programs on Loveworld Persia were originally produced in English. For the Persian audience each episode must be translated, first on a transcript and later with voice talents, then dubbed and edited for broadcast. This is how Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Pastor Benny Hinn, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Dr. Marilyn Hickey, Sid Roth and others are able to impart their wisdom, experience and anointing in the Persian language. In addition, some live programs are translated as they are being broadcast. Your Production Sponsorship Gifts enable programs to be produced in Persian. You can give for a specific minister or program that blesses you or contribute to the overall production process. In addition to the broadcast programs, Loveworld Persia provides assistance for the translation of Loveworld publications which target Persian speakers around the world. The monthly Rhapsody of Realities devotional, Healing to the Nations magazine and numerous books written by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome are all available in print or digital formats. The digital delivery of these valuable ministry tools is particularly important and popular in Iran due to Christian literature being forbidden in the Islamic nation. Your Publications Sponsorship Gifts help provide for the translation, printing and distribution of Loveworld materials in the Persian language. We love to hear from our partners, viewers and friends. Please send us your questions or comments and we will respond to you very soon.
