Iranians and the Kingdom of God

A couple of weeks ago I had a phone conversation with my friend Wes who is a church planter in Glasgow, Scotland. He told me about a number of Iranian asylum seekers who have come to faith in Jesus.
       Quite the amazing tale indeed!
       Here is an excerpt from a newsletter of one of the team members of the church plant: Building friendships through community meals and football (soccer) sponsored by a

local church in the northeast part of Glasgow, several Muslim Iranians accepted our invitation

to join our church gatherings on Sundays. They continued to come along for the community

and care that they received, and took an interest in this Jesus that we spoke so passionately

about.

I’m thrilled to share that this summer we saw three of them accept Christ and get

baptized… and they simply can’t get enough church, Bible study, or Jesus!!! Their joy in

Christ is humbling and I can barely type this without weeping. They want to be discipled

and trained to share Christ w/ their ‘Iranian brothers,’ and I’m starting a bi-monthly Bible

study with them to help in the areas of growth and evangelism!!!

       Here is a few photos of the Iranians:
