The Iranian Gospel Church Dublin. Ministry Update.
Thursday, March 20th, marked the beginning of the Iranian New Year, a joyful 13-day celebration among Iranians. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit Iranian families in their homes and share the Good News of Christ. As part of our outreach, we hosted a New Year celebration at the church, inviting the Iranian community to join us for an evening of Persian food and fellowship. We were blessed to welcome sixty Iranians to the event. It was a beautiful time to reconnect with old friends and meet new families, and we are grateful for the chance to build deeper relationships.
On Easter Sunday, April 20th, we witnessed a very special moment in our church’s life: the baptism of four Iranian believers who have come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. It was a joyful and powerful service, as each one shared their testimony of how God has transformed their hearts. l. We continue to pray that these testimonies will inspire others to explore faith in Christ.
The Iranian Gospel Church is growing, and there is a real need for more help in reaching out to the Iranian community in Ireland and serving the church in Dublin. By God’s grace and through the generosity of supporters, we’ve been able to employ Alireza as part-time ministry staff. After much prayer and consideration, we welcomed him into this role recently, and he is already beginning to connect well with the community. We are trusting God to provide the additional support needed to bring him on full-time next year.
Please join us in thanking God for all He is doing, and continue to pray with us:
