Be a Lifeline Today

Zaman Fadaei.

  1. Serving six years in Iran’s hellish Evin Prison in Tehran ... plus two years in internal exile thereafter ... for “organizing house churches and promoting ‘Zionist’ Christianity,” according to Iran Human Rights Monitor.
  2. Additionally, Iran HRM reports, he recently received 80 lashes for drinking communion wine.

Appalling.

Ebrahim Firouzi.

  1. An Iranian Christian convert who served several years in prison was released … only to be summoned shortly after on “new charges of ‘insulting the sacred’ … and ‘propaganda against the state through promoting the Christian faith,’” according to the “2020 Report on International Religious Freedom: Iran” by the U.S. Department of State.
  2. Has experienced continued harassment, severe human rights violations, confiscation of property and more.

Shocking.

And yet ...

Persecuted Christians in Iran cling desperately to the hope they have in the Lord.

Fatemeh Mohammadi (“Mary”).

  1. Only 22 years old. Beaten, detained repeatedly and imprisoned.
  2. In an interview with Lela Gilbert, Senior Fellow for International Religious Freedom at the U.S.-based Family Research Council, she said: “Think about how you’ve deeply loved someone, and whenever you think about that person, you take comfort. You unconsciously smile, and you can endure everything. Then nothing seems so important anymore. Jesus Christ is like that for me. I truly love Him, and at the beginning, I made a covenant with Him to stay faithful to Him. He is my divine love that never changes.”

What faith!

Will you stand with our persecuted brothers and sisters?

Will you lift them up in prayer? That God will continue to strengthen them … that the Holy Spirit will bring comfort when so much is lost?

Your generous, compassionate gift to Liberty Relief International today will extend the love of Christ to the targeted and oppressed—in Iran and beyond.

Through our caring frontline partners, you will:

  1. Minister to their physical needs—feeding, clothing, giving water and providing shelter and safety.
  2. Advocate on their behalf—raising a voice against the terror they face day and night.
  3. Offer spiritual and emotional encouragement—healing the broken.
  4. Provide Bibles and Gospel-based discipleship materials—helping root God’s Word in their hearts.
  5. Rebuild churches and homes—replacing what was lost when groups that hate the name of Jesus destroyed them in attacks and raids ... and more.

I trust the Lord will bless you for being His hands and feet in hostile nations. It is challenging work, but necessary for the body of Christ.

Thank you for being someone our persecuted family members can count on in their time of need.
