COLOR SPEAK, Season 3, Episode 4, Transforming Iran, with Lana Silk
Manage episode 372110480 series 2843321
You can't be in ministry for our God if you aren't willing to spend time with Him first.
So, I spent time with Him. I took my sorry, burnt-out, self-pitying self and rested in company with Jesus, hearing what he had to say to me. Then, after months of re-grouping (or rehabilitation, lol), He put me in touch with Lana Silk, CEO of Transform Iran.
I knew before I heard from Lana in this interview that she would have a powerful message.
She doesn't disappoint because Jesus doesn't disaapoint.
What happens around the world affects us all. What happens in Iran, specifically, is our business too.
I hope you will listen in to our conversation today to gain fascinating insight on this remarkable country and what remarkable people who love Jesus are doing to spread the Good News.

CEO of Transform Iran, Lana Silk, has a unique, personal perspective and vision for advancing the global Kingdom of God—specifically, starting in Iran, one of the most persecuted nations on earth, where she was born.
Christ followers in Iran and other areas of the Middle East currently face serious persecution. Today, with a 99.6% Muslim population, Iran is not a safe place for Christian nationals and refugees—especially considering these individuals are directly stripped of their right to freely practice their faith or speak Jesus’ name in the open. Despite this persecution, hunger for the Gospel has continued to grow as Iranians and refugees have personal encounters with Christ or stumble upon other Christians who are boldly proclaiming the Good News.
Transform Iran supports Christian refugees in the Middle East and persecuted Christians in Iran through practical and pastoral means. This profound organization is on a mission to reach the those in Iran with the Gospel message and aid persecuted Christians as they place their faith in Christ and seek to spread his name throughout the nation. The ministry has planted churches in over 50 cities in Iran, trained and mentored thousands of ministry leaders behind closed doors and aided those seeking asylum. With great risk comes great responsibility, therefore, the organization carefully communicates with these individuals, providing practical aid, support and prayer to believers.
