About This Project
Amir and Zohreh finished a Bible seminar about Christ’s command to make disciples (Matt. 28), and they were strongly convicted that they must be bolder in sharing the gospel, even if it meant persecution. Sitting in a park a few days later, they prayed, “Father, help us not to be afraid of sharing the gospel. Please give us boldness. Please show us those we need to share with.” As they finished the prayer, a man approached them. He said, “I was recently visiting a neighboring country where I received a micro SD containing the Bible. I don’t know where to start reading. I have many questions about Jesus. Do you know anything about Christianity? Can you help me?” Amir and Zohreh smiled at each other and invited the man to sit down.God is at work among the Persian peoples! According to Operation World, Iran and Afghanistan have the fastest growing evangelical populations in the world. The field is ripe for harvest among Farsi speakers, and the Word of God must be accessible to them. Your gift to the Farsi (Persian) Bible Distribution project will meet two needs: (1) printing Bibles and New Testaments to use in discipleship and evangelism training events and church gatherings, and (2) creating digital Bibles for online distribution campaigns, apps, and micro SD cards. The micro SDs offer the Scripture in print and audio formats, along with other evangelical resources and contact information for users to connect with our follow-up team. The goal is to make Persian disciples who gather to form healthy churches which, in turn, make more disciples and churches. Give today to offer God’s Word to a people who have little access to the good news of Jesus, but who are seeking truth and salvation!
Why direct giving matters
Giving directly to a missionary team helps fund the specific, on-the-ground needs your missionaries care deeply about—needs that aren't covered by CP and LMCO alone.
In the next five years, a globalization goal of all IMB workers is to mobilize 500 local believers to become global missionary partners serving on IMB teams.
100% of your gift directly supports missionaries and their ministries overseas.

A short distance from the shopping center, Sara*, a young woman about their age, walked toward them and began a conversation. As a Christ-follower like you, Sara was excited to share the gospel with others, even those she didn’t know.
Recently, we met a family coming out of a cathedral. I greeted them and asked, “Do you know God loves you?” One of them said that God did not exist. She explained she had prayed in the cathedral and told God if he existed, He needed to show her a sign. I told her that I was that sign from God that He loves her. I shared with her that I once believed, as she did, that God did not exist. Then I told her that the God I wanted to introduce her to was different from the god she knew in her religion, “Our God is a God of love and is the only one who can save you.” I gave her an SD card and explained it would answer many of her questions.
