So what are the Christians in Iran experiencing right now? What's the general populace experiencing? We hear so many reports from the West and we know the perspective from America and Israel, other nations. What's happening within Iran, especially The church of Iran. We hear so many stories about incredible growth, terrible persecution, so much coming to the surface now as there hope for a regime change.
What's going on inside Iran? I'm speaking today with Sama Salimi. She's the author of the book. A modern Exodus. It just came out last year.
The reviews for the book are extraordinary. I actually just began reading it, I was so moved. by hearing some of the story. Osama herself was raised in Iran, lived there for 30 years, and her dad was an Anglican priest, himself a man who became a believer. And they openly preached their faith.
They never held back over the years, so they suffered imprisonment, all kinds of things. Finally, after 30 years, they fled as refugees. That's her story. We'll get to her story in a minute. But this is someone who is not just talking from a distance.
This is someone on a daily basis involved with Iran. Sama, welcome to the line of fire. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. It's a blessing to be with you and with your audience here.
Well, thank you. as best as you can. from the contacts you have with Iran, from your decades living there. What's happening? I know it's a big question.
What are the people feeling? Is there hope? Is there despair? Is there confusion? What's your take?
Yes, so actually, it's a very good question. Usually, my non Iranian friends ask me all the time, Sama, could you please help us understand why Iranian people are happy and they are celebrating the US and Israel strike attack to their country? And they ask me, are you guys crazy or what? But before I answer that question, I also have a few questions. And my questions are: Have you ever lived in a country that you have never been able to live?
A life that you want to live, to say and to express what you think, what you believe. Have you ever lived in a country that you If you speak up, So the answer will be bullets. Have you ever lived in a country that fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and children can be sitting outside of the big iron prison door? Waiting for the loved ones to come out of the prisons without knowing even if they are still alive. Have you ever lived in a country?
That the government can kill the people who are asking for their very basic right. And Their voices answer with bullets. And have you ever lived in a country that the doctors, nurses, can be executed. for treating the wounded and the injured. people at the hospital.
So These questions are the questions that usually Iranian people ask. themselves every day. And if you ask me, Samuel, how all these things started to happen. I would say Iran, Persia, didn't used to be like this. Actually, we are one of the oldest nations in the world with more than 3,000 years of history.
Iran is the land of Cyrus the Great. Iran is the land of The birthplace of human rights, the land of poetry, literature. And that shaped the wisdom and the culture of the humanity for so many years. And So I have to say this Islamic regime it all started to happen after nineteen seventy nine Islamic Revolution. If you ask me, okay, so you were a great nation.
But how it happened, I know Iran went through a lot of ups and downs during the history, but in 1979 something very special happened, and it was the Islamic Revolution. and they started to control all aspects of Iranian people's life. I have to say politically, financially, socially, and spiritually and even emotionally. Emotionally? How so?
You know For example, I myself, when I was growing up at a school, we were forced to read the Quran. And to pray the namans in Arabic, which is not our language. We are Persians, we don't speak Arabic, and we were forced to shout some slogans like death to America, death to Israel. Why? You know, we were innocent kids at elementary school, and if we didn't follow the rules, we could have been punished so badly.
And they told us, as you know, as a girl, if you show your hair and you do not cover your hair properly, so God, Allah, God of Islam, will send you to hell and will hang you with your hair in the hell and you will burn for ever and ever. And this is how emotionally we were abused at the schools. But I was blessed because I was raised under Christian parents. My father, they had, you know, my parents had converted from Islam to Christianity before I was born.
So whenever I was I got back home horrified with whatever I had heard about God, And how angry and how scary he is. My parents who knew Jesus told me, Sama. God is not as scary He loves you and he loved the world so much that he gave his only son and he sacrificed his life for you. Don't Afraid to make mistakes, don't afraid to make sin because. God is always there for you and if you are lost.
He will come and find you.
So so in other words, and and I want to get back to the people of Iran today and then continuing your story. But the perception that you had of God that was widely taught And you would say is taught in militant Islam is pretty much that that God is there with a big stick. Yes. If you step out of order, just like even if you, if anyone's ever seen Muslims praying, everything's lined up exactly right.
So you step out of order and there's a big stick and almost like God's looking for a reason. To hurt you or punish you. Is that the impression you had? Exactly. You know, it is like God is there to catch you right-handed.
And this is the reason why. Um you know We have the fastest growing church in Iran, and the Iranian people are giving their hearts and they have opened their hearts to Jesus. Why? Because when they heard about God of Islam, Allah, and how scary He is. when they hear about Jesus, this God is receiving.
This God is loving them.
So, people, so they see the contrast and they give their heart to Jesus. Because these people were, you know, their feelings were suppressed because they were just. Limited, they were always, you know, they feel trapped, they feel, but. When we talk about God of freedom, that the God, a kind of God that has mercy, has given His life for them, so it's a different story. It's a big difference.
And that is why we have the fastest growing church in Iran. And so I know, you know. Christianity is a crime. in Iran.
So if you believe in Jesus, you can be sentenced even to death. They keep you in the solitary confinement. Not because you know, they s they they do not say that because you are Christian, so we put you in prison. They label you a Zionist. And they call you that you are the spy for Israel.
All right, so hang on. You're saying that if a Muslim becomes a follower of Jesus, and joins a church. that that person will be labeled a Zionist and a spot for Israel.
So it's not just converting from Islam, which would be punishable by death. But you are now specifically labeled You you know this first hand, this is not just the story you've heard. Yes. No, no, no, this is this is us, this is our own story. Because um they they cannot just simply put you in pursuit and say, Okay, you are Christian and so this is your crime.
They say you are um you know you are doing anti-governmental activities. You are spying, you are a Zionist. And uh so This is how they feel they have the whole right to torture Christians in Iran. All right, so right now within the country, what are you hearing? You're saying that there's celebration, there's hope.
Yeah, exactly.
So this is what I was trying to say. You know, uh as I told you, they try to uh You know, control all aspects of the Iranian people's life, as I said, politically, socially, emotionally, and even financially. How, first of all, I have to say, they, you know, they stole everything from us. They stole our identity, they stole our country, they stole our dignity in the world, and they stole. All, I have to say, the national resources and the national wealth, and instead of You know, use all the national resources to develop the country.
They started to make weapons. To fight with everyone inside and outside of the country. You know, they are against everyone who is not Muslim. To make it short, okay?
So they are against whoever is not Muslim and is against Sharia law or Islamic rules. And because of this, using all the national votes for making weapons, the financial pressure. you know, came on people.
So prices climbed, the currency collapsed, and work no longer guaranteed survival, and people came to the street. Not because they wanted unrest. But because everyday life had become impossible for them. And what did the government do? Killed everybody on the street that wanted to protest peacefully, to ask for their rights.
And some reports say about thirty two thousand people were killed, some reports say forty thousand people were killed, some people say some reports say eighty, ninety. But the number is so large.
So and I have to say, this is the second Holocaust. In the world that we are experiencing in Iran right now. This is the second Holocaust. Where have you seen a government kill its own people for speaking? Where?
Where have you seen that a government arrested girls? put them in prison, beat them, rape them, kill them, and abandon them in the deserts or behind the hospitals. Where? So, this is, you know, a feeling. The people, you know, how people in Iran are feeling, and I'm Iranian, my heart.
Is heavy for my country and for the Iranian people.
So They feel trapped. and they are asking for help. Because they were taken hostage for 47 years. Because they were kidnapped, they were living in a slaughterhouse. And now that Israel and America are attacking to the country, we do not love bombs.
You know, but people are celebrating the possibility of freedom. Finally, after forty seven years, Who likes war? But this is the only way that we can get free from the captivity. And I have to say. You know, historically and according to the Bible, when the situation in a country gets that bad, the intervention of other countries is a beautiful thing, it's a holy action.
You know, in Proverbs Chapter thirty-first, verse eight, we read, speak up. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. And look at the Old Testament when the Jewish people were in captivity. Who saved them, Cyrus the Great, the king of Iran? Made them free and gave them the budget to go and build their own temples.
And now, I have to say, you know, the Islamic regime taught us to say death to America, death to Israel, but this is not us. Iranian people are totally different from the government, I mean, from the Islamic regime. We Iranians, we love America. We love Israel, and I see a lot of videos on social media where. Iranians and Israelis, they are hot to each other.
And this is beautiful. This is us. Iranian people are not an Islamic regime. They love poems. They are the most hospitable.
They love literature. They are educated. They they they are great people, not because I am Iranian, so I'm not just trying to idea. Yes. They think your average Iranian is a radical Muslim is burning an American flag, burning an Israeli flag, etc.
And obviously there's enough percentage of the people. that that with the revolution ousting the Shah. And then with Homini coming to power in 1979, There were enough people that it seemed like an uprising and obviously there was a pushing back against the Sean, things that they didn't like. But What you said was a whole country was kidnapped or hijacked. Is it true from your knowledge?
that although people may still be outwardly Muslim, that many, many Muslims have completely abandoned the faith, even if they haven't become Christian yet in Iran. Is that what you're hearing as well? Yes, yes, exactly. This is a very good point actually. I see a lot of videos from people in Iran that they are recording selfies and they are saying, we are Persians, we are not Muslim.
We are Persians, you know, so many videos, Iranian people. You know, if I want to say something, um, about the Islamic regime that has done successfully is this, they made Iranian people despise Islam. Iranian people hate Islam right now. And not only the young people, even the older generation, I mean, people who grew up with this kind of beliefs, they refuse. to bury their children, the loved ones, with Islamic Ceremonies They start to dance, they start to clap, they are getting back to themselves, they are asking the world to see them, to be their voice.
And they did their part. They did their sacrifice for the freedom. It is not like they are sitting and doing nothing. And the two most um you know the fastest I have to say um Growing religions is Christianity. And it's Zoroastrianism, okay?
This is making a rebound, interesting, yeah, and you know, I have to say that. Sharia law and Islamic rules. has never been aligned with Iranians' values. An Irrhenia's identity. This is not us.
But Christianity, I mean, Bible lessons, and you know, I have to say, you know, Zoroastrianism kind of. Uh is Perfectly matched with Iranians because they love people, because they celebrate life. Iranian people are happy people.
So but Islam kind of suppressed all the feelings, their nature and their dignity and everything. But this is good news that Iranian people are claiming that they are not Muslim and they want to get back to who they are. And for your dad, serving as an Anglican priest in the underground church, what kind of things did he suffer over the years?
Okay, so you know after it's interesting because my father gave his heart to Jesus right after the Islamic Revolution after 1979.
So was he raised in a Muslim home or secular? Muslim home. Yes. And it was in 1982 that my father gave his heart to Jesus Christ and not only he gave his heart to Jesus, he started to serve, he became a pastor. and a few years later, I was born.
In this time of control, where so many of our pastors, Muslim background believers, were arrested, were imprisoned. We are tortured. and killed and even disappeared. And I have to say, you know, I can share my own experience. Growing up, I witnessed so many attacks to our house and privacy on a routine basis.
The security authorities would raid our house and would confiscate all the Christian items. I was only six, but I remember each attack to our house clearly. I used to crawl under the bed. to hide with fear. trembling.
However, I was witnessing everything. And in that little kid's mind there were tons of questions, like where do they take daddy? Why do they arrest him? Why do they handcuff him and pull his body aggressively on the ground? Why do they hit mommy to fall down?
And why she gets up and begs them to stop. With all these things happening right in front of that little kid. Kids' eyes. I I believed that my father was the strongest man in the world and he would come back home. Yeah.
But it was just the beginning, the killing silence after each attack. was even worse. I remember walking in the house was like walking in a battlefield. Everything was a mess. And my mom would sit in a corner crying silently.
And I used to say to my mom, Mom, why don't you call the police to save us from these bad guys? And I didn't know that these people are the police themselves. Uh this tragedy happened in front of my eyes. For 30, over 30 years, again and again and again. And in 2009, We decided to reopen one of the Anglican churches in Esfahan City in Iran.
It was called Saint Paul, and that church was abandoned for over forty years. This reopening and refurbishment renewed pressure Against us, especially my father as a pastor and the underground churches that he was leading, as well as the Christian books and poetry that he had written. And because of that, when he was going to Dubai to become ordained as a priest, officially In Iran's airport, they, you know Arrested him, confiscated his passport, and they banned him from leaving the country for several years. Right after what happened at the airport, they again raided our house. But this time For almost a month we had no clue where my father was.
We did not know how he was doing. We were not even sure if he was still alive. It was me and my mom only at home. and we would go to bathroom to pray quietly. because we were so scared to be hurt by them.
Everything was under their control. Our telephones was under control and we were being followed everywhere and their shadows would not leave us alone even for a moment. Even our friends and family, I mean, the relatives would avoid us. Because the They were afraid to be targeted by the government too.
So what you described is obviously Something that's been experienced for decades by believers in Iran right up to this moment. I'm speaking with Sama Samili, her book, A Modern. Exodus, it's really a moving stirring book, as I said at the outset, just reading some of the reviews of the book, and Gordon Robertson from CBN has forward to the book. Um Like they say, you pull no punches. It's a moving story, but...
As Samuel was asking at the beginning, asking us questions, you know, can we relate? to living in a world like that. Uh most of you're watching just on internet around the world, obviously, but most would be in America.
So, you know, for us, the pressure we get is peer pressure. or somebody unlikes you on Facebook. Or posts a nasty comment, we think that's persecution. No, this is the real deal. And yet in the midst of it, the church growing.
And thriving. Uh do you ha do you have any guesstimates? When we talk about how fast the church is growing, low number, high number, how many believers there may be within Iran right now?
So, um you know We cannot say the exact number.
Some people say, you know, some reports say like. Three million, four million people, but because it is underground church. And people are secretly following Jesus and not have the exact number. of how many people are, you know, are believers. But one of the visions that I have is when Um the regime falls.
and Iran becomes free again.
So I I assume that who Whoever, not whoever, but they're will be a lot of people on the street. that now they are not afraid anymore to show who they believe. You know, we will talk about our faith openly. But yeah, so there is maybe I have to say The most valid Um A report can be from Gamma if I am not wrong. That tells us exactly how many, or approximately how many people are giving their heart to Jesus in Iran.
But it is hard to say. Yeah, and you know, just like when Uh the bamboo curtain went up in China. And the church went underground. Everyone was shocked to see decades later when China opened up again. how large the underground church was.
So like you're saying, you really, you don't know. Yeah. And there may be a surprise in terms of how many have come to faith because they've come to faith in the midst of persecution. that normally means a deeper commitment, a more serious commitment, and a deeper experience in Jesus as well, because you're not just going to do this. for an intellectual basis philosophical basis to change religion and risk your life you have to really No God.
And when you know him, when when Jesus is real and forgiveness of sins is real. Then we joyfully follow him in the midst of the persecution and the pain. Ultimately, you and your family realize you have to you have to leave Iran. And you end up in Turkey. Was that like paradise now?
You're free and everything's wonderful? Yes, but you know. The main part of the story hasn't told yet because how we came to Turkey So you know, when we didn't know where my father was, one of those unforgettable days, I remember I received a phone call from the intelligence police. and they gave me an address and they wanted me to go to that address.
So I do not know how I got myself there, and on the way I was thinking, what are they going to do with me? Are they going to hurt me? Are they going to imprison me? Or are they going to give me? My father is a lifeless body.
With all those thoughts, I came in front of a big iron door and upon mentioning my name, you know, the security guard guard took me inside the prison.
So they took me in a room. I sat in a chair. They closed my eyes with a blindfold. And so, despite the blindfold, I could feel the heaviness of someone's look on my shoulder. And I unintentionally looked around, and suddenly a very harsh, cruel voice started to yell at me.
And it was the same day that I experienced in an appropriate behavior that crossed. my physical boundaries. And they kept me in the interrogation room. Until crying was not allowing to talk, allowing me to talk anymore. But the good news is, my father was alive.
They kept my father in a solitary confinement for three months, and when I'm talking about the solitary confinement. Describe it. Yeah, it is a very small room that you can only sit or you can only lay down, you cannot walk, there is no window, there is no light, you do not know when is the daytime, when is the night time, you know, no soap, no towel, backdoor toilet, roaches everywhere, and a watery meal once a day.
So we were convicted of apostasy, blasphemy, anti-governmental activities, evangelism, and writing Christian books and poetry. You know, we were released on bail temporary, but our case was still open in the court. And my father's doctor told me, Samuel, your father is not in a good situation. And next time, because you know, my father was not young anymore, he was becoming 70 years old. And he told me, if he goes to the solitary confinement, this time, I'm not sure if he will be able to handle this.
So I sat with my father and said, Dad, We are in danger and we need to escape from this country. And even and it is it is written in the Bible: if they do not accept to sh shake off the dust of your feet and leave. And Jesus also says in the same chapter in Matthew 10, if they persecute you in one city, So there is a time. I just want to back up for a second. Mm-hmm.
I know many times as I've read stories and talked to people that were persecuted for their faith in prison, They don't like to talk about the worst times. It's too difficult or traumatic. But did your dad ever explain to you how he survived? it came out mentally stable after a a horrific situation like that. I um You know.
He always tries to protect me as a father. Yeah. So he. never overshared what you know, he went through in the prisons. But I remember some of the memories that he shared with me.
He told me that the only thing that Um could make him continue Well I was You know, the verse says And that he had memorized. And he would sing. Gospel songs, and with the spoon that he had, he had drawn a cross on the wall and made an altar there to worship. But so You know I believe not only my father, not only me, whoever is arrested for their faith in Iran.
So when they go to prisons, including us, you know, people, the prisoners ask, what brought you here?
So, we have that chance to share our faith, to share our testimony.
So, at the same time, we believe that God uses us. Know as a vessel to be a light in the darkest places, like prisons.
So it is. A bittersweet experience being in Iran's prisons. Yeah, extraordinary. All right, so you told your dad. We've got to get out of here.
You're not going to make it. And what happens next? Yeah, I c finally convinced my father because my father always was against leaving Iran. He believed he's a pastor and he always asked me someone what would I do what this sheep would do without me. And I said, Dad, you can serve the Lord everywhere.
But he was getting old.
So finally, I. convinced him and we escaped to Turkey with all the belongings behind. And we opened a case in the UN as asylum seekers.
So you couldn't get free passage out of the country. Flee illegally, basically? No, no, no. Actually, after they convince uh con fiscated my father's passport. You know, all these information are written in the book.
Yes, a modern Exodus. That's right.
So it is all the details because our time is limited, I'm not I'm trying not to go to the details. But so For two, three years, we were trying to get my father's passport through some connections that we had, my brothers had actually. We finally got the passport, but but we were not sure if this password is Valid, and my father can get out of the country.
So, with a lot of prayer and fasting and everything, we were. Able to get to Turkey legally because my father was old. He couldn't do it illegally or, you know, on feet. Yes. And then we went to Turkey and we opened a case in the United Nations as asylum seekers and we planted Emmanuel Church immediately.
And we started to serve Iranians and Afghan people. And we lived in Turkey for six years. And when I say six years in Turkey, I'm not talking about a normal life. I'm talking about six years in limbo. I mean, you do not know what the future holds, you are not allowed to leave the city, you are not allowed to work.
And you are always on a standby situation to hear from the police or the immigration office to tell you if you are eligible to stay in this country or you need to leave here, leave the leave Turkey and get back to your country. Finally, after six years living in this situation, The immigration office of Turkey called us for an interview, and we did go for the interview. Yeah. To my surprise, the first question that asked was: Samo, Uh what was wrong with Islam that you became Christian? And I said, Here we go again in other Islamic country.
So, the Turkish police, I mean, they are all Muslim, they were interviewing us, and so. I think they were taking it kind of personally, not professionally, and they rejected our case. Although we had all the evidence.
So after a year of tedious paperwork, rigorous processes, a lot of ups and downs, emotional ups and downs, we had our day in the court and three judges said, Yes, you are eligible, so you can stay in this country. But the Immigration Office of Turkey raised an objection and they said, Mm no. Uh these people need to leave. uh Turkey within thirty days and they shouldn't stay in Turkey.
So here, when they gave The deportation order. To us, I never forget my parents' faces. Their eyes once filled with hope, were now drowning in tears and I could read their mind they were getting ready. in their minds to get back to the country that they had escaped from. where there is the there is torture, persecution, solitary confinement, and even the potential of death.
and I could see that they were packing their bags here. And when I saw that, I said, I do not let this happen. I looked directly into the officer's eyes and said, Look My future, our future, is not in your hand. and it is not in the hand of intelligence police of Iran. Our future is in the hand of God, our Lord Jesus Christ.
And he said, Is Sean's lor which means good luck.
So we left uh the immigration um office And we couldn't go anywhere, we couldn't get back to Iran. But one day it was unfortunate. february fourteenth, twenty twenty two, they came to our door a step. to arrest us. and send us back to Iran.
Wow. By the grace of God my father was not home. They couldn't locate him, and they left, and they said they would be back in an hour. As soon as they left, I started to make hundreds of hundreds of phone calls to reach to someone, to anyone who could help us. And a lawyer said, Do not stay in that house.
And you know, we started to pack my mother and I, we started to pack all the clothes. And I was even sure what I was packing. I was yelling, I was talking on the phone, and all of a sudden, in the midst of Those frantic phone calls and you know, panic-stricken packing, I saw my father showed up. with two big flowers in his hand, saying Happy Valentine's Day to my beautiful wife and daughter. Wow.
It was fourteenth of February. It was Valentine's Day. You know As a single woman, I always celebrate my Valentine's Day with the Lord. And right before that I was saying to God, Lord, On Valentine's Day, Not today. And then when my father showed up with two roses in his hand, I knew.
That God is talking to me through Him, telling me, Samuel, I got you. Don't worry.
So we packed our bags, we left that house with all the belongings behind. and we started to live in hiding. for eight, nine months in Tokyo.
So they blocked our bank account, our IDs. We had nothing. We had no home to go. We had no nationality. We had no country.
We had no ID to go to a hotel or rent a house. And what we did, we started to move from one church to another church. finding a shelter to stay at night, and sometimes we had no place to go. And one day when we were um we had no place to go, It was next to the Marmaris Sea in Turkey. My parents and I've been had made A fire.
It was a cold night. And I saw a house next to the beach. The curtains were open. And I saw A family around a warm table, They were clinking their glasses, They were enjoying their time together, and I was watching them. For a long time, you know, I didn't even feel the time.
And I said, Lord, If you save us, if you save my parents and me from this situation. I promise I promise. I will tell everybody that it was you who saved us. How much I want something like this in my life again. Around a warm table, you know, a very basic thing, clinking our glasses.
And I made a wish, I prayed. And A few days later, some international organizations tried to reach out to us and they said they want to interview us and I said, look, this is dangerous because we were at risk, but every single mistake could put us at a very serious risk. We decided to do the interview after praying and fasting, and they broadcast. than news everywhere. And Soon.
So many churches from all around the world they started to pray for us. We didn't know those people. They made campaigns. They collected signatures. Because they wanted to prevent the deportation.
No, do not deport this family, they cannot get back to Iran. And the news reached to the Anglican church in North America, and they said We want to rescue this family. Thank you, Jesus. You know, we it was, you know, I have to say, my parents and I, we were like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Yeah.
And to be honest, I can say it about myself personally. This fire. was not burning me This fire was moulding me, was shaping me, was refining me. You know, I was melting in the fire, but a new thing was was being created. And not only I was not being Burned I started to receive the spiritual blessings.
Spiritual gifts. And one of my favorite gifts that I received in the fire was the gift of contentment.
So I could say Lord is my shepherd, I shall not lack. You know, there was this storm outside of me. Everything was a chaos. Nothing was right. But inside my heart I had reached the promised land.
I had no tentment here. And if you could, yeah, if you could find the promised land in the midst of that situation. The uncertainty. What a message for us. Yeah, that that that is what was built inside of me right in the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the storm.
I met the Lord in the storm of my life. Facebook. Yeah, I just want to jump in because So many right now. You're in your own storms. And when you hear Salma's story, you think, wow, that's a lot more intense.
That's a lot more difficult. Or maybe you're in a situation and you're completely at the end of your wits. The same Jesus. is is right there available.
Sometimes we have to come to the end of ourselves before the breakthroughs come. And um You know, I I I don't Normally, cut a story short intentionally to say you have to buy the book, but this is one of these cases where you have to buy the book because we could talk for hours otherwise. Sama Samili, a modern Exodus, what happened when she got to America. But here's what I want to underscore. And Sam, I wanted you to just talk freely so people could hear your heart, even though I knew we wouldn't get through the whole story.
Your prayers, just like the prayers of the church around the world, brought liberty to Sama and her family, and she can testify to it firsthand. and doors god opened a door that no one could shut amen i want to urge you pray for the people of Iran that God would bring freedom. Natural freedom. and spiritual freedom. that he would guide our government, the Israeli government, other world governments.
that beyond what's happening with bombing campaigns and things like that and economic sanctions, That God Himself would intervene, would stretch out his hand and intervene. Your prayers make a difference. Pray. for God's will to be done in their own, for the overthrowing of tyranny, for liberty to come, natural and. Spiritual.
Hey, we are out of time, but friends, again, the book. Sama Similarly, a modern Exodus, thank you for your heart. Thank you for your witness. May God bless the people of Iran. Amen.
Thank you so much.
