MISSIONARY MAILBOX

David Wentling Reaching Iranian Refugees

Iran is a closed country to missionaries.

Multitudes of Iranians do not agree with the radical Islamic state and flee their country daily. They become disgruntled with their government, disillusioned with Islam. As God moves, He transplants them out of their country as refugees into a place to hear the Gospel. This is their time! Iranians are a Muslim people group open to listen to the gospel! As these dear Iranian refugees flee their country, many end up in Germany or Austria. David, who is the Iranian pastor at Victory Christian Center in Austria, seeks them out and greets them with love and understanding. Pray that God will transform their refugee life - from accepting the gospel as a cultural imperative to a true life-changing experience in Jesus Christ. Pray for David - health, wisdom, discernment.
