In Part 2 of our conversation with Mohamad Faridi, we explore his miraculous escape from Iran, the challenges of living as a Christian in a Muslim country, and the explosive growth of the underground church in Iran. Mohamad shares how God is using disillusionment with Islam to open hearts, the bold believers risking everything to spread the Gospel, and why the church in Iran is growing faster than almost anywhere else in the world. This inspiring testimony will strengthen your faith and challenge you to pray for and support the persecuted church.
