More and more Iranian house church members are fleeing Tehran and other cities as the war between Israel and Iran intensifies.
From the beginning of the war, it has been clear that the Iranian people are not the enemy, but are actually captives of a tyrannical regime that has held the nation captive since 1979. The underground house church in Iran have seen the same hatred and evil from the Iranian Islamic regime as Israel has experienced, but with one major difference – the underground house church has not been able to fight back.
Both President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have both warned Iranians to flee the capital city of Tehran, because they do not want to see civilians get hurt.
In the last few days evacuations of other regions and cities have also been added to the list.
Today, tens of thousands of Christians have heeded those warnings and are fleeing to take refuge in less densely populated areas.
Christians fleeing for their lives are faced with a country at war and everything – especially food costs – have skyrocketed. Prior to the war, a family of four could be sustained with only $10 USD per week, but now it costs three times as much $30. This includes rice, dried bread, canned items, and water.
House church members are providing for themselves, as well as helping others and are pleading for support.
To assist the house church during this time of crises, we are sending in support to help feed families for the next few months.

Letters From the Underground House Churches in Iran
Sister Nasim
Hello to all caring and zealous brothers and sisters in God,
I am Nasim. I am a widow. I am also a leader in the underground churches in Iran. In these days when the war cast its shadow on our hearts, the spirit of fear took over my whole being.
There were nights when I couldn’t sleep for a moment because of the fear. I would just cry and say:
“Heavenly Father, You promised to give us peace. I just want peace. I want Your peace.”
When I saw your loving messages and videos of your prayers for us, suddenly a deep peace like a wave from heaven, swept over my heart. And today for the first time, after reading your messages, I went to sleep peacefully because I knew that the prayers of you saints are powerful and are that your prayers are with us.
Amen that our beloved country Iran be saved and the day will come when you step on our freed soil and we can serve Jesus alongside each other.
Beacon of Hope
Greetings to my dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
To be honest, I’ve been feeling really bad these past few days
I was so scared that even the sound of a pot falling in the kitchen woke me up. My heart was pounding. I thought I’d been hit by a missile.
I don’t know what happened to my soul, but I’ve become so sensitive that even a normal sound feels like an explosion.
But thank God for you! For each and every loving message you sent. Now whenever I am afraid, I read your messages out loud. The messages that you wrote with faith and love, your voice is like a blanket to me. A warm blanket that wraps around my heart and slowly takes away my fear.
God bless you because you don’t just pray…You are a beacon of hope in the darkness of our days.
We believe that these difficult days will pass and we believe that God has good and hopeful thoughts for us. He never leaves His children alone.
We are waiting for the day we hear the news of Iran’s freedom and we can all celebrate together.
Encouragement from Brazil
Dear friends,
Yesterday a church in Brazil sent me a video of their church praying for the underground churches in Iran. We were able to get the video to them.
They sent back many messages.
Here is one of them:
“Shalom, the living God is with you, my brothers and sisters.
From the very beginning of this video until the end, I felt the presence of God in this gathering and with tears I surrendered myself and all the people of my country to the powerful hands of Jehovah.
The moment the pastor announced God’s protection over us Iranians and our country, I received a strange, deep, and heavenly strength of heart.
The hearts of you dear brothers and sisters, which beat from the depths of your being for us, your Iranian family of faith, can be clearly recognized even from behind this camera frame.
Amen in the powerful name of Christ, that with the intercessory prayers of you saints, our land of Iran will soon be freed from all darkness and the rule of oppression and corruption, and we in Iran will be blessed, in our free churches, to welcome you, my dear ones, and together we will praise and deeply worship our Lord.
May the blessing, strength, amd power, of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you forever. 🫶🏻🙏🏻✝️”
If you are interested to send a word of encouragement to them please comment here or send me a private message and I will get it to them.
They are encouraged to hear that you are praying with them and for them.
