Christians Persecuted In Iran.

Iranian security forces have ordered a church in Tehran to shut down, according to a report from one of our Iranian partners. The church, in the west of the capital, is associated to the Assemblies of God movement. Its building was acquired following a similar incident a few years ago that led to another church closure in Karaj (20km outside Tehran).
'Unless this action becomes costly for the Iranian authorities, we will be mourning more church closures in the coming months,' our partner said. 'I hope and pray that we can make a real difference [against] what seems to be a relentless campaign to eliminate all evangelical churches, official and house church alike.' (Release International.)
