Iranians Converting to Christ

I read this on another site and thought I should post this. Now, if anyone has anything different than this, please let me know. This article was written Jan. 5th 2007.

In 1990, there were only three known Christians in Kazakhstan and no Christians in Uzbekistan, but now more than 15,000 in Kazakhstan and 30, 000 in Uzbekistan. There were only 500 Christians in Iran on 1979, but more than one million Iranians believing Jesus Christ today, most of whom meet in underground house churches. See the rest here, http://www.islam-watch.org/LeavingIslam/Muslims2Christianity.htm

This is absolutely fabulous. Not that they have to meet underground, but that they want, choose, to meet at all! Praise God from whom all blessing flow
Praise Him ye creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen!

The conversion rate is about 60% in Iran compared to a secular democratic country of Turkey. May someday, all of us can go to Iran and teach Iranians about the joy of knowing Jesus.

That would be wonderful Serendip. I'm sure that there are many Iranians there already doing missionary work. Elam ministries is one of them.
