Feb 20 2012 |
The church in Iran is said to be one of the fastest-growing in the Muslim world – despite intense persecution. Release International, which serves persecuted Christians worldwide, is helping train Iranian women for church leadership in their nation.
Two women speakers from Iran will be addressing Release’s first national conference for women in London on Saturday February 25.
Women speakers from Nigeria, Pakistan and Eritrea will join those from Iran at the heart2heart conference in Hammersmith, which is being put on by Release’s women’s ministry, Release Women.
‘We’re delighted to be able to welcome our speaker to tell us how Iranian women Christians are being trained,’ says organiser Emma Dipper. ‘She is helping to lead a church that is growing rapidly in the face of extreme persecution.’
