Christ is not the replacement of Israel—He is its fulfillment.

Scripture does not present two peoples, two plans, or two covenants, but one—fulfilled in Him. In Christ, every promise of God finds its “Yes,” and through Him, one people is gathered from every nation.

This work explores the unity of the covenant of grace and the beauty of God’s redemptive plan, centered in Christ alone.

The situation in Iran has entered a historic and deeply unstable phase. In recent days, U.S. and Israeli strikes killed the dictator of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and by the response of the IRGC to his death, the region has moved into a new and dangerous season of escalation, retaliation, and uncertainty. Inside Iran and across the Iranian diaspora, the reaction has been sharply divided. The Islamic regime's supporters have grieved, but many others have openly ...

Nothing Is Normal in Iran

Nothing in Iran is “normal” right now—forty days after a massacre. The country is experiencing sustained unrest, deep economic distress, and an atmosphere of fear that touches the daily life of virtually every family. The regime’s response has included sweeping arrests, heavy force in the streets, and aggressive information control—so much so that even basic verification of events can become difficult as intimidation and shutdowns create a fog of uncertainty.

The question is not whether God has brought the nations to us, but whether we will be faithful stewards of the gospel. The harvest is right here where we live — in the classroom, at work, and across the street in our neighborhoods. Let’s take courage, open our doors in Christ’s name, and share the only hope of salvation: Jesus our Lord.

By God’s grace, we are preparing for The Doctrine of the Church Conference, taking place October 13–19, 2025. During this week, we will gather to study the beauty, unity, and mission of Christ’s church as revealed in His Word.

We warmly invite you to join us in prayer throughout the conference week. Each day will focus on a distinct truth from Scripture about the church—her foundation in God’s eternal plan, her unity in Christ, her defining marks, her worship and leadership, and her mission to the world.

Together, let us seek the Lord’s blessing on this time of teaching and fellowship, that His Spirit would deepen our love for the church and magnify the glory of Christ, her Head.

February 18 In memoriam: Henry Martyn (18 February 1781 – 16 October 1812) who has been called “the pioneer Protestant missionary to Muslims.”

Henry Martyn was an English missionary who was the first to translate the New Testament and Psalms into Persian (Farsi) in 1809-1812. In keeping with the Persian custom of presenting books to the Shah as a gift, Martyn approached the Vazir (Prime Minister) who held access to the Shah, with his request and his precious gift. A verbal discussion followed and the Vazir challenged Martyn to recite the Muslim creed, “God is God and Mohammed is the Prophet of God.” Martyn replied, “God is God, and Jesus is the Son of God.” It was a miracle that Martyn escaped with his life, but he sure did not get his audience. Later, Martyn entrusted a special edition of the Persian New Testament and Psalms to the British Ambassador to give to the Shah. After the British Ambassador presented Martyn's Persian New Testament and Psalms to the Shah, the Shah wrote. "In truth (said the royal letter of thanks to the ambassador) through the learned and unremitted exertions of the Reverend Henry Martyn it has been translated in a style most befitting sacred books, that is in an easy and simple diction...The whole of the New Testament is completed in a most excellent manner, a source of pleasure to our enlightened and august mind."

With thankfulness to the Lord for Henry Martyn's pioneer ministry in bringing God's Word to Persia, MEHR Ministries seeks to continue Martyn's mission of bringing God's Word, accurately translated from the Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament, to the current generation of Farsi speakers so that they may learn "God is God, and Jesus is the Son of God."
