Ecumenically Speaking

Reports say tens of thousands of mosques have closed across Iran as millions leave Islam and turn to Jesus.

Human Khalil, an Iranian-born believer, says widespread unrest, government brutality, and especially the violent crackdown on women have led many Iranians to reject Islam entirely.

He believes a massive underground church movement is growing, with an estimated 10 million hidden Christians in the country.

Many Iranians report encountering Jesus through dreams and visions, leading to a surge of conversions despite the danger — leaving Islam is punishable by death.

Khalil and his family came to faith through the kindness and prayers of a local church after fleeing Iran.

He urges Christians worldwide to pray for the underground church and support ministries helping persecuted believers escape danger and share the gospel.
