Testimony
Gheaven
May God’s love and grace be with you and remain within you in the name of Jesus.
Over the past few years, in relation to food delivery disputes, we have received innumerable testimonies and blessings. Many families rely on these provisions as their main source of proper nutrition. This includes the elderly, the forgotten, breastfeeding mothers who head their households, mothers with young children, fathers unable to work due to illness, and men burdened by high costs and lack of job opportunities.
Many times, I have seen men in tears and women remaining hungry so their children can eat.
The forgotten
A few months ago, I met a woman who had been thrown out of a supermarket for stealing cheese and a bag of bread. When I started a conversation with her, I noticed she was pregnant and had two other children. Her husband was in prison, and her family had kicked her out due to their poverty. When I gave her the food package, she shed tears of joy and said, “I thought God had forgotten me!
The rejected
Last year, I met another woman who suffered mentally and was horrifically abused by many men for the price of 5,000 toman, which is equivalent to almost nothing. She gave birth to a son from these relationships, who is now three years old and lives with her grandmother. Since the day we met her and through our ministry, she has lived a clean and normal life with her mother and son.
Amen, may we witness the day when, under the protection of our Saviour, people remain united and become each other’s helping hands.
May the Shalom and blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Providing knitting tools
Over the past three years, we have supported thirteen Afghan children in learning to read, write, and acquire basic math skills. Additionally, two of them have learned basic English. We have provided knitting kits, tools, socks, and hats for the mother of two brothers, Ebrahim and Benyamin, enabling her to knit clothes, bath exfoliating gloves, and wash-up fibers. This allows the two boys to sell their mother’s handmade products responsibly, using the proceeds to cover the household’s basic needs and school expenses.
Teaching children how to read and write
It is beyond my ability to describe the look in the eyes of these teenagers, who are so eager to learn, even though some cannot even write their names. Last week, I met a thirteen-year-old girl who didn’t even know her age or birth date. She had never been to school or taught how to read and write. When I spoke to her, she opened up and shared that her dream is to one day write a letter to her mother, who is now remarried and living in Afghanistan. We have provided school bags, pens, and paper for this beautiful girl, and a kind individual has agreed to teach her.
May the Lord grant us the grace to provide for more of these children, who lack birth certificates and whose dream is to one day go to school, learn to read and write, and secure a bright future under the protection of Christ.
Food boxes lasting for a long time
Hello to all of you.
My testimony goes back to when we were distributing food packages to poor families through our church. Some of these Christian families were unaware of the source of our help and were eager to know, as they noticed that every time we visited, their food supplies lasted longer than expected, and they experienced a sense of peace. We finally decided to share the good news with them, and two families gave their lives to Christ.
The oil doesn’t run out
While we were distributing food packs, people mentioned that they hadn’t yet run out of the previous pack and asked us not to bring more so that we could give them to others in need. Some families specifically mentioned that they never seemed to run out of the oil we provided for them.
The Addict
Praise God that we have managed to send many drug-addicted women to rehab. Today, they attend NA classes and have mentors who help those lead better lives. Many of these women were formerly prostitutes or thieves, but today they live clean lives through God’s power and their commitment to the program.
The addict
We thank God for His church, which continually seeks to support women struggling with addiction and those who are heads of their families. The church has many goals in this direction, striving to empower these individuals to become influential members of society. Amen! With the power of God and the church’s follow-up, more lives will be transformed.
In the past two years, we have supported a large number of financially disadvantaged breastfeeding mothers who were struggling to feed their children adequately or to buy powdered milk. When we saw that some of these children had grown and no longer needed powdered milk, it filled us with deep hope in God’s work. Amen! May this path continue with God’s strength and gra
Children of labour
For many years, our group has been continuously and seriously active in supporting child labourers, abused children, and orphans. Our focus is on providing food, clothing, shoes, hats, and gloves for winter, as well as school supplies and sanitary items. We also provide thick gloves for teenage garbage collectors. We strive to care for the personal needs of these children and protect them from potential family harm and psychological trauma, including the beatings and rapes some have suffered.
Additionally, we organize Christmas and Nowruz celebrations, distributing fruits, chocolates, and sweets. We also hold birthday celebrations for many working children who lack families and create a “wall of wishes” that brings them great joy. Witnessing their laughter and happiness, even if just for one day, is indescribably rewarding.
The homeless
We praise God that for the past few years, we have been able to provide hot food year-round, blankets in winter, and medical assistance to a few people living in slums, often on cardboard. Among these individuals, we have managed to build rooms using bricks, stones, cement, plastic, and blankets, ensuring they do not freeze on cold nights. Interestingly, last year, we involved these people in the construction of their rooms, and some have since found employment on building sites.
Basket of Goods
Since we began distributing food baskets among the poor, women who are heads of their families, those who are physically and mentally disabled, people suffering from malnutrition, the elderly, children, and breastfeeding mothers who could hardly provide for their basic needs have been listed to receive regular help. They have testified how much these baskets have been a blessing to them.
Evengelism
Hello, while traveling to Shiraz to evangelize, I met a man in a laundry. God put it on my heart to give him a New Testament Bible as a gift. He looked at me with so much joy and amazement and testified that he had been a believer for a while but didn’t have a Bible! The Lord provided, and this was a gift to His child.
Testimony
Hello, During an evangelistic trip to one of the cities in Iran, I was in charge of the prayers. I was passionately praying for people’s salvation. The enemy tried to discourage me, suggesting my prayers had no power. But God placed in my heart the assurance that I would see the salvation of these people through my prayers in heaven.
The courage
My testimony is that a few people’s hearts were touched, and they were very eager to know more about Jesus Christ. Evangelistic methods such as giving out books made me braver and more courageous.
Home church in Abadan
Shalom of God upon you. My partner and I moved to the city of Abadan as missionaries to evangelize and minister. We prayed and evangelized for some time, and God revealed His wonders among the fanatical Arab people in this city. God has now brought many brothers from Arab backgrounds into the churches, who were previously struggling with addiction, superstitions, and prejudices. But the hand of the Lord rescued them and revealed His truth to them, and today they love Jesus with all their hearts. They are also evangelists now, and many people have come to Christ through them.
People coming to Christ
Another testimony is that through our two daughters, their English teacher gave her life to Christ, and today she is a member of our church. We praise God that He is working through our family, and we have received His grace.
Youth receiving Christ
With Shalom and Respect, My testimony is about my trip to the city of Asaluyeh, where I saw teenagers and young adults coming to Christ with great thirst and passion for knowing Jesus Christ. Seeing such enthusiasm in new believers and witnessing so many young adults coming to Christ in one city, I experienced a movement of God in this generation that I have not seen in any other city.
With love,
Church Activities
In the church, through God’s grace and our zealous leaders who stand on the truth of God, character-building and Bible study sessions have been beneficial. Courses on freedom in Christ and healing, which were necessary for us Iranians due to the widespread reliance on witchcraft and superstition, as well as experiences of rejection from family and society, have also been effective. We have held valuable counselling sessions, ministered to widows, and followed up with those in abusive relationships. We provided ministry to teenagers through effective teaching and mentoring. Regular meetings were held for ministers to address their challenges and inner circle difficulties. The church encouraged entrepreneurship and supported efforts to find right and pleasing jobs. We also followed up on unemployed women and cared for them.
People requested counselling sessions to address family, marital, and parental challenges, and the church supported them through prayer and counselling. We followed up on working children, young children, the disabled, the poor, and the underprivileged, as well as addicts and the homeless. We established churches and ministry bases in different cities, sent out evangelists to various cities in Iran, and deployed ministers to the cities where we had established churches to empower and strengthen them so that the ministers could meet believers in different cities.
