‘God is changing the spiritual landscape in Iran. The church is growing, but there is a price to be paid. Persecution is purifying the church. I wish there was a simpler way, but miracles are happening which now baffle the mind – some who have killed Christians are now finding Christ.’
Inspiring words from Lazarus Yeghnazar, of Release International’s partner 222 Ministries. Lazarus is joining us on our first online speaker tour of the year.
Jailed for the gospel
This believer from an Armenian background became a church leader in Iran, where he served two prison terms for preaching the gospel. Now based in the West, his ministry trains church leaders, plants churches and disciples believers in Iran.
Lazarus will be speaking to Release International supporters in Scotland on March 8; to those in Northern Ireland on March 9; to supporters in Wales on March 10; and will be addressing Release supporters in England on March 11.
Each meeting will be online via Zoom and start at 7:30pm. These meetings are for supporters in the four countries of the UK, but you are more than welcome to join any night, wherever you live.
