The Church in Iran is one of the fastest-growing in the world.

What follows is a message of deep urgency as history unfolds in Iran. As nationwide protests for freedom continued—with death toll reports climbing from the hundreds into the thousands—the Iranian regime shut down the internet, cutting off an entire nation from the outside world. Violence escalated. Families are grieving.

This is a critical moment for the global Church.

International Christian Concern (ICC) is actively and prayerfully preparing to support Iran’s underground believers as the situation deteriorates further or the Islamic regime collapses. These believers worship in secret, share the gospel at great personal risk, and faithfully follow Christ despite persecution.

With our trusted and carefully vetted partners on the ground and our regional team, we are preparing to respond quickly with:
  • Emergency humanitarian aid
  • Discipleship resources
  • Bibles for new and growing believers
The Church in Iran is one of the fastest-growing in the world. If a window opens, believers will have an unprecedented opportunity to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of a nation crying out for both! ICC will be there to equip the Iranian Christians to do just that.
