We wish to thank all of you who have joined with Steve and his team at RevelationMedia as they print and distribute The Real Story of Jesus Comic Books inside war-torn Iran! We are proud to be a part of this work as we witness what God is doing today in Iran. What started out as a goal of 50,000 copies has now grown to 200,000 thanks in part to readers of The Babylon Bee.

Iran: Compelled to Continue
Dear Friends,
When I first announced we would print and distribute 50,000 copies of The Real Story of Jesus in comic book format, inside Iran, I thought maybe that was the most we would do. We are not a large ministry, and 50,000 of anything is a big number for us.
That was only five weeks ago. To date, we have printed 150,000 copies! And many are being distributed right now, even as you read this email.
I’ve been praying about it all week. The news surrounding Iran has gone from “blowing up bridges” to a “temporary ceasefire.” I don’t know what will happen this week, or even today for that matter. What I do know is that there is a window of opportunity for the underground church!
The war has brought limited freedoms for the Christians there. Checkpoints are often vacant, and the Revolutionary Guard is so preoccupied with staying alive that they have not had time to monitor all the Christians’ activities.
Don’t get me wrong. It is still extremely dangerous for Christians to evangelize. However, there is a sliver of openness and the underground Christians we work with are taking every opportunity to share Jesus, and they are asking for more copies of The Real Story of Jesus Comic Books!
So today I am announcing we are setting a goal to print yet another 50,000 copies to bring our total to 200,000!
Iranian Christians take every opportunity to share the Gospel.
How can we not want to support them when we read testimonies like the following one I just received from sister Zeinbar:
“I called my friend and she sounded completely discouraged and lifeless. I told her, ‘Let’s go out—God has prepared something for us today.’ She came reluctantly, but when she saw The Real Story of Jesus books you sent us, everything changed! A fire was lit in her heart. She began thanking God and said, ‘Let’s go!’
“We went near to the hospital to pray for the doctors and nurses serving in this war. Then we met a woman whose mother was in a coma. We prayed for her and gave her one of the books and told her, ‘Jesus loves you more than you can ever imagine.’
“Three days later our evangelism team received a call. The woman who called was shouting for joy, saying, ‘My mother woke up! She was healed! Your Jesus healed her!’
“Please pray for her—that she would fully receive Jesus in her heart!”

You can provide more copies of The Real Story of Jesus books for only $2 each, which includes secret printing, distribution, and some emergency help for our brothers and sisters in Iran.
I don’t know how long we will keep this campaign going or how long this window of opportunity will be open. I had a different email planned for this Sunday, but again God quickened my spirit, and I am compelled to keep empowering the Christians in Iran with The Real Story of Jesus Comic Books.
God may be leading you to do more. And if so, please write to me at info@revelationmedia.com. Others have already, which has enabled us to print and distribute as many as we have so far.
Thank you for joining us in the spiritual battle for Iran. Whether bridges are blown up or not, our bridges cannot be destroyed—through the cross of Jesus Christ, they lead to Heaven!
Help Iranians Share Jesus with The Real Story of Jesus Comic Books
Our Iranian partners are gratefully distributing 150,000 The Real Story of Jesus Comic Books, and they have already seen people come to Christ! These books help them easily share the full story of the Gospel with the people they meet every day during this conflict that has created unique opportunities for witnessing. At only $2 per book, your donation to help provide them with another 50,000 books could help turn the tide in Iran’s spiritual war!
