IranThe executive director of Mission Network News says the gospel is making inroads into Iran.

 

Mission Network News (MNN) recently concluded a prayer initiative for Muslims that coincided with Ramadan. Greg Yoder, executive director of MNN, says many Muslims in countries such as Iran are turning to Christianity after they have realized that religious leaders have dictated and crafted governmental policies.
 
Greg Yoder (MNN)"So they're thinking to themselves, 'We don't really like the government in Iran. We don't really like what's happening; there must be some other truth' -- and that's why they're turning to Christian television, satellite radio, and many are turning to Christ," he notes. "We're seeing a new generation in Iran coming to Christ, and they're even developing churches around radio and TV today so they can grow in their faith."
 
Yoder encourages Christians to pray for the salvation of Muslims and witness to them when opportunities arise.
