When news broke of the Irani Supreme Court’s decision that it was not a crime to preach Christianity in a house church in Iran, Laleh rejoiced along with the others in her fellowship. However, since she became a follower of Jesus after watching Christian programs on satellite TV, she has always felt the need to keep her faith secret and she still feels uneasy talking about it with strangers. .
Meeting at the house church in a nearby town was her only connection with other Christians, some of whom are still in prison for preaching the Gospel
She wondered: Could things be changing?
Iran is an Islamic republic and attempts to convert Muslims have, until recently, been punishable by death. At the end of 2021, Iran’s courts finally declared that it was not illegal to preach Christianity. even though the law is not consistently applied.
This was a huge shift in a nation that is notorious for persecuting religious minorities. Some believe that authorities’ efforts to push a fundamentalist Islamic agenda has encouraged Iranians to leave Islam, associating it with a corrupt political system. Recent secular studies have confirmed the reports that Christian workers have been making for years about the growth of the Church in Iran.
Estimates suggest that there are now over half a million Christians in Iran, but it is suspected that there are many more, possibly twice that number, given that most Christians still worship secretly in home-based churches and private gatherings.
