Preserving Faith. Equipping Leaders. Inspiring Voices.

Our work is built around three connected pillars: documenting the story of Christianity in Iran, equipping communities to engage meaningfully with Persian-speaking people while developing and providing accessible resources that support and strengthen Persian-speaking individuals and communities, and empowering a new generation within the Iranian diaspora to explore the Christian faith, grow in their relationship with Christ and confidently share the Gospel with others.

DOCUMENT

Research & Multimedia

Christianity in Iran has undergone a remarkable transformation over recent decades, and its story is still unfolding.

Our first priority is to document the modern Christian revival while those who witnessed and shaped its history are still able to tell their stories firsthand. Through interviews, oral histories, films, long-form documentaries, written research and publications, we are building a lasting record of this extraordinary chapter of Christian history.

Beginning with the past 50 years, our research will ultimately reach further back into the rich and ancient history of Christianity in Iran, bringing together these stories through multimedia projects and future publications.

Training & Resources

Understanding people begins with understanding their culture, history and worldview.

We develop practical resources and training to help churches, leaders and communities better understand and engage with Persian-speaking communities. From Persian culture and identity to questions of faith and Christianity, our aim is to give communities the knowledge and confidence to build meaningful relationships.

Alongside this, we create and provide accessible resources for Persian-speaking individuals and communities, helping them explore the Christian faith, deepen their understanding of Christianity and engage with important questions about faith and identity.

Our resources also help address important differences in religious understanding. For example, helping explain the Christian understanding of Jesus within a context where many may first have encountered Jesus through Islam.

Faith Resources

INSPIRE

Faith, Outreach & Fellowship

The story we document is a story of faith, courage and perseverance that deserves to be heard.

Through churches, conferences, events and Christian gatherings, we share the research, testimonies and stories emerging from our work, highlighting the history of Christianity in Iran and the remarkable faith of those who have chosen to follow Christ despite the challenges they face.

But sharing these stories is only the beginning. Through our fellowship programme, we seek to inspire and equip a new generation within the Iranian diaspora to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith, grow in their relationship with Christ and confidently share the Gospel with others.

Our aim is to nurture a generation rooted in faith, strengthened by knowledge and inspired to be a witness for Christ within their communities and beyond.

Speaking & Gospel Outreach

We bring our research beyond the archive through public speaking, church engagement, conferences and public events. We will be sharing the story of Iran’s Christian revival, celebrating the transformative power of the Gospel and inspiring others through remarkable testimonies of faith, courage and lives changed by Christ.

Equipping the next generation 

The Faithful Hands Fellowship will bring together emerging Christian leaders with a passion for faith, evangelism, discipleship and sharing the Gospel. At its heart is a commitment to raising up and equipping the next generation to grow in their relationship with Christ, deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and become confident witnesses for the Gospel.

Through an intensive in-person programme, Fellows will explore the history of Christianity in Iran, the modern Christian revival and the powerful testimonies of those who have chosen to follow Christ. They will also develop practical skills in evangelism, Christian leadership, discipleship and communicating the Gospel with clarity, confidence and conviction.

The Fellowship will place a particular emphasis on inspiring and equipping younger generations within the Iranian diaspora to reconnect with Iran’s Christian story, discover and deepen their faith, and play an active role in sharing the Gospel within their communities and beyond. It will also welcome others who share a passion for Christ and a desire to serve, lead and make an impact through their faith.
