Contact Severed with Kurdish-Iranian Christians

[8] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Kurdish-Iranian Christians.

A pastor who serves Kurdish-Iranian followers of Christ in Iran lost contact with them in early January when the Iranian government cut all forms of communication within the country because of wide-scale demonstrations against the Iranian regime. Kurdish-Iranians number around 5 million inside Iran and are predominantly Muslim. A small number are believed to be followers of Christ. “Pray that the Lord will protect these believers and that they will continue to live out their faith boldly,” the pastor said. “Pray that we can regain contact so we can continue to encourage each other.”
