Iran is one of the world’s most hostile countries to the gospel – yet the church grows rapidly. Lana Silk, CEO of Transform Iran joins us to share stories of the way God is befriending, speaking to, protecting, and transforming the people of Iran. She shares Meesha’s story, who’s family was murdered and she thought it was because Allah was punishing her. That’s when Jesus showed up. And Fatima’s story, she was so hard-hearted against the gospel but then she heard God speaking her language! There’s the believer who was supernaturally protected in prison and then the Islamic scholar who did a deep dive into Islam and Christianity and now is winning Muslim leaders to Jesus. Transform Iran reaches the lost, disciples converts and develops nation-transforming leaders! Also in this podcast, the Holy Spirit will lead you today. In a very busy week Shawna was asked how she was doing. As she began to complain about it all the Holy Spirit redirected her thoughts with a specific scripture. If He did that for Shawna He will do it for you too! And last, last week Perry was sharing with his son, “I wish God would do a bible-sized miracle for the people I know who’ve been suffering for so long.” A few days after sharing that he didn’t get what he wanted, but what he needed.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lana Silk is the daughter of Lazarus and Maggie Yeghnazar who were born and raised in Iran and have served the Iranian Church their whole lives. In the late 1980s, they felt the call of God to move their young family West. This was a decision they wrestled with, as their hearts were tied to Iran and the increasingly persecuted Church there. In their own words, “we did not want to abandon our flock”. However, through a series of supernatural interventions, God made it clear to them and to other pastors on their team that He had a different plan for them. In obedience, they left for Europe in 1988.Today, their ministry "Transform Iran" (formerly 222 Ministries), has been training leaders to plant churches in 17 nations. Many of those churches are underground congregations in Iran and Afghanistan. Over 100,000 are now following Jesus Christ. They are also discipling these believers.Lana joins Mike Stone on "Behind the Mike: Conversation of Hope" to talk about her life as an Iranian who left her homeland for Europe, and eventually the United States. Lana is the CEO of the U.S. for Transform Iran.We discuss the negative perception that many Westerners, especially U.S. citizens, have against Iranians and others in the mid-East.God has a plan for Iran and Lana and her team at Transform Iran are helping to spearhead this important transformation.
