Islam demands obedience but provides no power to obey. Muslims are desperate for the power and grace to change that Jesus offers. I want to share with you a quick story of how Jesus is transforming Iran by letting His presence and His power become known to Persians through our ministry. Arman contacted us through email to let us know how Iran Alive’s counselors and satellite television broadcasts (Network 7) helped free him from bondage:
My name is Arman, and I’m 32 years old from Iran.
At the age of 18, I became addicted to pornography.
I thought if I got married, I would be healed of needing to watch pornography. But my addiction continued even after my marriage.
It got to a point where I started cheating on my wife. I forced my wife to sleep with others, and I would sometimes find another woman to have a threesome with us.
Then I was introduced to Network 7. When I watched the program, I became disgusted with myself and the things I had done. I felt very filthy!
I contacted your counselors, and little by little the Lord started changing my ways of thinking. I received healing and freedom from this bondage. I now feel God’s presence and strength in my life.
Because of the changes in me, my wife has become interested to learn more about Christ, and she follows Network 7. I have been called to grow in the Lord and work with young people who are in the same bondage. I want to be a soldier for Him.
Arman
Praise God for how He is working in Iran! May He raise up an Army of Love that will transform the whole nation in this generation.
