Iran is one of the world’s most hostile countries to the gospel – yet the church grows rapidly. Transform Iran reaches the lost, disciples converts and develops nation-transforming leaders. We dream of the day when every Iranian man, woman and child will know the love of Christ and the transformative power of the gospel will penetrate, redeem and renew all aspects of society across the nation of Iran.

What keeps someone cycling over 5,500 km for people they may never meet?

Because the people of Iran are not forgotten.

Right now, Arotin is in Romania continuing his journey. The road has brought some of his hardest days—exhaustion, uncertainty and many unexpected challenges. He is also carrying concern for his youngest daughter, who broke her arm and needs surgery back home.

And still, he continues. Why? Because faith is not free. Hope comes at a cost. Yet the Church in Iran is growing.

Give today to stand with the people of Iran.

Your support helps bring awareness, encouragement and practical help to those suffering in Iran.

In Middle Eastern culture, preserving honor is extremely important and surrender is likely unthinkable at this point. For Iranian Christians and others living under the ayatollah’s rule, the future feels deeply uncertain. Without a regime change, many fear that a weakened but intact government could lead to even greater control and oppression in the years ahead.

Yet the Church presses on. We pray in faith. We pray for leaders on all sides. We pray for protection, courage, and hope for the people of Iran. And we remember that God is not surprised by any of this.

Join us in praying that, whatever lies ahead, God’s purposes for Iran will prevail and that many more people will come to know Him.

“The suffering church is part of our family. When one part of the body suffers, we all suffer.”

In a powerful conversation on the Pursuing Redemption Podcast, Lana paints a sobering and hope-filled picture of life for believers in Iran today.

Families are struggling to secure even basic food and daily necessities. Crackdowns and surprise raids have left many believers increasingly isolated and under intense pressure for their faith.

And yet — the underground church is growing.

Supernatural encounters are opening unexpected doors to faith. Internet blackouts are being bypassed through satellite TV and worship radio broadcasts. Across the country, believers are risking everything to encourage one another, serve the most vulnerable and share the gospel.

When believers in Iran suffer, the whole body suffers — and we are invited to respond with prayer, awareness and practical support. Even small sacrifices can make a real difference in sustaining families and strengthening underground believers.

On day 82 of the ceasefire, reports of Iraqi military presence and movements across parts of Iran have added yet another layer of tension to an already fragile and fearful environment.

Amid this growing pressure, a deeper reality continues inside the country.

The ceasefire has given the regime an opportunity to catch their breath, regroup, restrategize and strengthen themselves — while the people of Iran continue to be harassed and left helpless under increasing economic and repressive pressures.

In this environment, ministry becomes all the more urgent and costly.

Please pray for God to speed and protect our teams as they travel at great risk between house churches, delivering practical aid and bringing the gospel of hope to those who feel forgotten.

In Iran today, many feel forgotten. Families have been torn apart and are living under the relentless reality of war, fear and propaganda. Many are struggling just to buy basic food and survive rising prices. Heavy surveillance, intimidation, internet blackouts and arrests continue mercilessly — and children are not excluded. The regime continues to disregard the intense suffering of its people while actively projecting control, strength and normalcy.

That is why this journey matters.

This week, Arotin reached his first 1,000 km. But the road has not been easy. Long days cycling alone. Difficult terrain. Relentless weather. Nights spent pitching a tent before waking up to do it all again the next morning.

This week has finally brought some respite: better roads, calmer weather, a moment to recover.

Yet for those inside Iran, the pressure does not lift so easily.

Every difficult mile is helping raise awareness and practical support for people in Iran who are suffering. Arotin is not cycling for recognition or comfort. He is choosing deep sacrifice to bring aid and hope to the people of Iran, and to remind them they are not alone.

Please keep standing with Iran. Follow his journey. Pray for Iran. Give. Share.

Thank you Arotin!

Selah: What comforts would you be willing to lay down today so others can encounter hope?

Why does Iran need this journey?

5,500 km … that’s not something you decide one evening. When Arotin was 19, he was cycling and sensed from God that one day he would cycle to the border of Iran and stand in victory over it.

There are an estimated two million Christians in Iran who are facing persecution. This journey is about them—about raising awareness, and bringing hope and practical support to those suffering.

What part can you play? Follow his journey. Pray for Iran. Give. Share.

“A ceasefire that steadies the hand of oppression is no peace at all.”

While the world speaks of de-escalation, many inside Iran say fear and repression are only intensifying. Reports continue to emerge of increased executions, widespread intimidation and horrific abuses against detainees — including children.

In this article published in Townhall.com, Lana Yeghnazar Silk examines why this ceasefire may be strengthening the Iranian regime rather than bringing true peace.

The journey has begun. Every mile carries a purpose—to stand with people inside Iran who cannot live freely.

This is the reality:
Repression. Surveillance. Fear.
Arrests and executions without mercy.
Believers imprisoned. Families torn apart.
Many cannot get to work or even buy food.
And yet life continues under pressure few of us can imagine.

This is why Arotin is cycling thousands of miles.
Not for sport, but to raise awareness and bring hope and practical support to those suffering.

Follow his journey. Pray for Iran. Give. Share.

What if your journey could bring hope to a nation in crisis?

Iran is a country of beauty and rich history—and deep need. Today, Iranians are living under intense repression, surveillance and fear. Arrests and executions continue without mercy.

This is why this journey matters.

Arotin is cycling thousands of miles—not for a challenge, but to raise support for people in Iran who are suffering, searching and in need of hope and practical aid.

This is more than a bike ride. It’s about raising awareness, support and standing with the people of Iran. Follow his journey. Pray for Iran. Give to support those in need. Share with others who can also pray and support.

Could Tehran be bluffing?

Tensions are rising in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S.–Iran talks falter. Recent attacks suggest the threat may be real. But Iran’s messaging isn’t always straightforward.

Inside Iran, ordinary people face rising costs, fear and deepening hardship.

Stay informed. Pray for Iran. Support those in need.
