Iran: Using War to Share Christ!
Dear Friends,
We just received this message from one of our underground church leaders in Iran:
Dear [friends], we are still alive and continuing the work of Christ. Yesterday, I was able to save two lives… two people gave their hearts to Christ.
Amid the bombings, police are hiding and Christians are sharing Jesus!
We’ve been told that some of the military in Iran is too busy and too scared to currently keep up their persecution of Christians. And many underground believers are taking advantage of the war to win people to Christ.
When I first started raising funds to print The Real Story of Jesus for Iran, it was to have the books ready AFTER the conflict. But they are distributing them NOW. And they just asked us for more!
Iranians read their new The Real Story of Jesus storybooks sponsored for them last month.
I honestly never thought this would be the case. Last week we completed our initial fundraising to print and distribute 50,000 copies of The Real Story of Jesus in comic book form. And as you read this, the books are already being distributed. Now they are asking if we would be willing to send another 50,000!
Here’s what they told me about The Real Story of Jesus books, which contain the full message of salvation from Genesis to Revelation:
One [section] of the comics being distributed carries a powerful reminder: Christ suffered for us, and He is not unfamiliar with our suffering.
This message reflects the heart of the believers and leaders who, despite years of pressure, hardship, and persecution, continue to stand firm for the salvation of their people. With deep passion and unwavering focus on their calling, they use every opportunity to reach hearts with the Gospel.
When I was asked to provide another 50,000 copies of The Real Story of Jesus, I told them, “I don’t know if we could do that or not.” However, I added, “I will ask the friends of RevelationMedia what they think.”
So, what do you think? Should we provide another 50,000 copies of The Real Story of Jesus?

I confess, it is hard for me to even imagine God would use RevelationMedia in this way. There was a time I didn’t even want to produce The Real Story of Jesus. And as I said above, I thought we would be printing for distribution AFTER the conflict in Iran.
But God always seems to have a different plan. He knew why these books would be needed. And He knew His children in Iran would take every opportunity, even amid a war, to share Jesus!
My wife Debra and I are going to give to print more copies of The Real Story of Jesus. And I will ask you what you would like to do. We have already exceeded our last goal of 50,000 copies by more than 5,000 copies and will apply the extra to this new campaign for a second print run of 50,000.
We do not know how long this window of opportunity will stay open. It’s even hard for me to imagine that war and suffering are creating this opportunity, but they are. We just must look beyond the natural and into the spiritual.
Honestly, they could use a million copies. And if God provided the resources, that is exactly what we would give. But for today, they are asking if we want to send funds to print another 50,000 copies.
They could use a million copies. And if God provided the resources, that is exactly what we would give.
For every $2 we raise, we can cover all the cost to print and distribute a copy of The Real Story of Jesus. This amount also includes some emergency support for the underground church in Iran.
The last thing I heard from Iran this week was this:
Thank you to all of you—our faithful supporters—who stand with us in thismission. Your prayers, generosity, and partnership are making an eternal impact.
Please continue to pray for the church in Iran. Pray for their protection, provisions, and for the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. And pray for those who will be receiving The Real Story of Jesus.
As God leads, you can use the link below to give online to share The Real Story of Jesus in Iran. They will continue sharing with young and old, even in the middle of a war.
You can also send a check to the address at the bottom of this email. NOTE: Please do NOT write Iran on a check. Just write me a separate note or send me an email at info@revelationmedia.com and I will make sure your donation is designated accordingly.
I have also set up a new phone number. You can contact me directly by email or by texting me at 945-227-0331. I welcome your comments and your prayers, and I will do my best to respond to any questions you may have, but please be patient.
And please let me know if God is leading you to help in a larger capacity as we stand with our courageous brothers and sisters in Iran. I am continually amazed by what God is doing!
