Courage and Revival: Inside the Underground Church in Iran Amid Conflict
Naghmeh Panahi's Powerful Testimony
In this episode of At Risk Radio, hosts Mark Stafford and David Witt sit down with author and advocate Naghmeh Panahi to reveal what life is truly like right now for Christians inside Iran. As political conflict rages and daily realities include bomb shelters, fuel shortages, and soaring food costs, the underground Church is facing an emotional and spiritual storm. Naghmeh shares compelling firsthand accounts of fear and uncertainty, but also describes how the Gospel is spreading through house churches, fueled by bold faith and solidarity from believers around the world. International prayers and messages of encouragement are like a lifeline, bringing comfort and empowering Iranian Christians to keep sharing hope, even at great risk.
Despite persecution and extraordinary challenges, a remarkable revival is underway as Iranians turn to Christ in unprecedented numbers. The conversation highlights the difference between political headlines and the spiritual reality: God is moving powerfully among the Persecuted Church. Now, more than ever, Iranian believers need the Global Church to stand with them, not just in prayer, but in practical support. To play your part in encouraging and empowering these courageous Christians, consider donating to SOM International and helping bring hope to the Church at risk.
