So I was part of a Webinar yesterday which was produced by none other than Heart 4 Iran. It was going over how the Coronavirus is affecting everyone in Iran. During said webinar, it was talking about how this pandemic was causing the Iranian people to lose faith in the government and faith in God in general(and Islam in particular). It was causing them to question how a good God would allow this to happen.
For our Iranian brethren in Christ, it was an opportunity share the gospel. Many of them took this opportunity to give out hand sanitizer to those who didn’t have, share the gospel with those who didn’t know Christ and love on others in general (even their persecutors).
In a sense, this is similar to how I mentioned how our brethren in Christ were taking advantage of the pandemic in China last month.
Obviously, God is using this pandemic to draw more people to Him. Given that Iran has horrible healthcare, it has drawn many Muslim inhabitants to go to Christians for help and prayer. It will no doubt lead to a miraculous healing and the Muslims giving their lives to Christ.
The number of Christians in Iran has been growing rapidly. This pandemic is more than likely going to cause it to grow even more.
I have posted numerous posts on Iran in the recent past. Here are some ways to pray for Iran during this crisis:
1. Pray that Iran will get through this health crisis as the pandemic is revealing. Pray that the people of Iran who affect by this virus will be healed despite the lack of health care and that it will improve.
2. Pray that our brethren in Christ will remain strong in the Lord and continue to preach the gospel during this time despite the threat of persecution.
3. Pray that the number of Christians will continue increasing during this time.
Romans 8:28 really is true. God does work everything together for the good of His children.
