Summary

How do you prepare to face persecution? Ali—who ministers inside Iran—tells us how he and his wife talk through what might happen, and how they will persevere through it by God's grace. He also shares how God is moving inside Iran, including the surprising Bible story God used to reach the heart of a prostitute. Then we'll learn more about volunteering to serve at VOM and hear how two people decided they'd come to Bartlesville and serve the Lord by serving our persecuted family.
