Revelation 19 : 16 reminds us that no empire, law or leader can dethrone the King of Kings. The Church under fire still testifies that Christ is Lord and His Kingdom cannot be crushed.Paragraph 2 – Reflection When the world sees weakness, heaven sees worship. Every whispered prayer and hidden gathering is a proclamation that Jesus is Lord. Persecution purifies faith; it reveals the strength of His Spirit within us.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for China, Iran, North Korea and Eritrea.

Revelation 19 : 16 reminds us that the rule of Jesus is unshakable. Though believers in China face pressure and pain, their courage testifies that Christ still reigns.Paragraph 2 – Reflection The Church under pressure shows the world what love truly costs. Every whispered hymn and hidden gathering is a victory of grace. When the faithful suffer, the King stands with them; His presence is their strength.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for China, North Korea, Iran and Afghanistan.

What happens when a young woman raised under communist atheism begins to question why authorities are so afraid of a God they claim doesn't exist? Join us for Svetlana Khomiak's remarkable journey from Soviet indoctrination to profound faith in this powerful testimony.Growing up in Ukraine during the height of communism, Svetlana experienced the full force of atheist teaching—"no God, beautiful life" was the constant refrain. But a summer stay with her grandmother, who secretly hosted worship services in her rural home, planted seeds of curiosity that would eventually lead to an extraordinary encounter. Following a mysterious, supernatural guidance—worship music that only she could hear—Svetlana was led directly to a secret house church hidden in an apartment building, defying all logical explanation.Refusing to wear the red communist scarf, see the consequences of Svetlana's newfound faith and strong conviction, from persecution to a communist household transforming with God's power.Whether you're facing opposition for your beliefs or simply curious about how faith survives under extreme pressure, Svetlana's story reminds us that God will always lead genuine seekers to ultimate truth. As she quotes from Matthew 5:10, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Helpful links:Prayercast UkraineMatthew 7:7-8Matthew 5:10Postwar Soviet Ukraine a brief historyLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

Naghmeh Panahi's Powerful Testimony In this episode of At Risk Radio, hosts Mark Stafford and David Witt sit down with author and advocate Naghmeh Panahi to reveal what life is truly like right now for Christians inside Iran. As political conflict rages and daily realities include bomb shelters, fuel shortages, and soaring food costs, the underground Church is facing an emotional and spiritual storm. Naghmeh shares compelling firsthand accounts of fear and uncertainty, but also describes how the Gospel is spreading through house churches, fueled by bold faith and solidarity from believers around the world. International prayers and messages of encouragement are like a lifeline, bringing comfort and empowering Iranian Christians to keep sharing hope, even at great risk. Despite persecution and extraordinary challenges, a remarkable revival is underway as Iranians turn to Christ in unprecedented numbers. The conversation highlights the difference between political headlines and the spiritual reality: God is moving powerfully among the Persecuted Church. Now, more than ever, Iranian believers need the Global Church to stand with them, not just in prayer, but in practical support. To play your part in encouraging and empowering these courageous Christians, consider donating to SOM International and helping bring hope to the Church at risk. SOM International

The church in Iran today is thought to be the fastest growing church in the world, in spite of intense persecution. Why is that? In this episode Matt talks with Lana Silk, the CEO of Transform Iran. Lana grew up in an Iranian Christian family in The Islamic Republic of Iran during the Iran-Iraq War and the early years of Ayatollah Khomeini. She talks of the state's indoctrination of even primary school students - teaching hatred towards Israel and America and she relates the harsh curbing of freedoms in those years, particularly for women.But she also recounts how the same strict form of Islamic Law and Government in Iran unexpectedly has led many Muslims to a hunger for something different, leading hundreds of thousands of them to discover Jesus.Check out and get behind Transform Iran's incredible ministry by visiting transformiran.comSupport the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his guests.matt@frontiers.org.ukYou can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).

From our first day of ministry in the Middle East, we were struck by the vibrant faith of the underground church leaders, their stories a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. This episode pulls back the curtain on the remarkable expansion of Christianity in Iran, a land where faith comes at a high cost, following Jesus Christ a choice often made not just with your words, but possibly with your life. Our special guest, David Yeghnazar from Elam Ministries, shares with us not just the history woven into his family's faith journey but also the broader narrative of Iran's church, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the Islamic revolution. This will encourage you and also compel you to greater works - to get things done where we live, while our brothers in other nations stay the course for Christ. These stories of resilience and discipleship are fuel for our mission, reminding us that the true measure of a man's faith is not found in serenity, but in the crucible of trials. David and Paul also talk about the new Christian Men’s Network thrust into Arabic nations. CMN is actively translating resources for discipling men into Farsi, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian and other languages for the Middle East and Central Asian nations.  Brave Men is a production of the Christian Men’s Network. A global resource center for tools to disciple men. Currently in 50 languages.
