The World’s Fastest Growing Church 22 <strong>Persecution</strong> | JULY <strong>2023</strong>
WH EN PERSECUTION FUELS TH E RAPID EXPANSION OF TH E CHURCH IN IRAN By Joseph Daniel Photo: Idin Ebrahimi/Unsplash To be a Christian in Iran 50 years ago meant to be a part of small ethnic groups of Armenians, Chaldeans, or Assyrians– communities of a few hundred thousand that had lived in Iran for centuries. Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, there were only a few hundred converts to Christianity from the country’s majority religion, Islam. When the revolution successfully overthrew the secular monarchy, or Shah, it was reasonable to expect that the tiny Christian populations would diminish and that Christianity would be stifled under the newly applied Sharia law of the Islamic Republic of Iran. For the past 44 years, there has been wave after wave of persecution against Iranians who decide to become Christians. To own a Bible in PERSECUTION.ORG 23
