DescThe generosity and faithfulness of our supporters has enabled us to continue to increase our capacity to strengthen and expand the church in the Iran region and beyond.In 2017, we served several thousand Persian-speakers in Christian ministry through Bible conferences, advanced Bible training, two-week discipleship intensives, accredited distance learning programs, and our three-month Christian leadership course. We also provided targeted Bible training, care, and counseling to a hundreds of women who have experience abuse or oppression.2017 also saw the continued printing and distribution of Bibles, New Testaments, and children's Bibles in Persian. Additionally, we translated, published, and printed three new titles in Christian literature for use in evangelism, Bible training, and Christian education. Fifty-five titles were reprinted. Our media department produced weekly Christian TV programming in Persian for women, children, Christian worship, and evangelism. These programs were broadcast on satellite TV and made available via the Internet. In total 91 new episodes were filmed along with 150+ short videos for use in evangelism and discipleship via social mediaLastly, in 2017 we provided advocacy and financial support for twelve persecuted Christians and their families. We also partnered with various churches across Europe to assist them in outreach and integration of Persian-speaking refugees into their local communities.Desc
