An Iranian Muslim Couple Comes to ChristThey came wanting to say their Islamic prayers, and ended up praying to Jesus for salvation! Yesterday, I received via email one of the many testimonies of God's Spirit moving among the people of Iran. "Elam" was founded in 1988 by senior Iranian church leaders, and has continued in their vision to train and equip Iranian Christians to reach out to their countrymen.
According to Elam, there were less than 500 Christians from a Muslim background in Iran in 1979, but today the number is estimated to be at least 100,000. In keeping with that explosive growth of the Christian Church in Iran, are some amazing testimonies of those who have come out of the Islamic religion into the freedom that Christ brings. Here is one of those testimonies… "Can we say our (Islamic) prayers in your church?" On Tuesday September 15, an Iranian couple were walking the streets of a city in the Middle East where Elam graduates lead an Iranian church. The church is situated in a busy part of a tourist area and is easily visible to passersby. The couple saw the church and entered. Finding one of the church leaders, they said, "Can we say our (Islamic) prayers in your church?" The church leaders were taken aback—they'd never been asked this before. What to do? They decided to show hospitality and kindness and offered them lunch. The couple gladly accepted and sat down in the church to eat. One of the church leaders gave them a New Testament and began to explain the Gospel as they ate. Their conversation lasted two hours and the leader asked if they wanted to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. The couple were ready and bowed their heads and said the sinner's prayer. They came wanting to say their Islamic prayers, and ended up praying to Jesus for salvation! That very evening the couple returned to join the church's weekly prayer meeting. What a beautiful sight it was to see them slowly hold out their hands in praise to the living God they had just met! Please pray for this couple to grow in their new found faith as they have returned to Iran where they will be discipled by other Christian leaders in Iran. Elam ministries has developed a special prayer guide, for Christians worldwide to use when interceding for those in Iran. For the prayer guide "Iran30," CLICK HERE.
