Youtube Viewer Comment from Mohamad’s Youtube Channel:

“Hello! Mr. Mohamad Faridi. I am speaking from Bangladesh. I am a Sunni Muslim. I have been watching your testimony videos for the past one year. I have come to know Jesus through you. I now want to accept Jesus. I am now aware of the dark sides of Islam. I am now mentally prepared. I now want to accept Jesus. It has become a very risky and worrying matter for me. I want a specific mentor. I was inspired by the testimony of Afghan and Pakistani Sunni Muslim Aryan sister and Bangladeshi expatriate Muslim lahir Israel brother. I want to contact these two. Please put them in touch with me, because we grew up in almost the same culture. Otherwise, you should counsel me with some other mentor.”

Iran’s Underground Print and Distribution Project

Thousands of Gospel tracts and Christian books are being printed and distributed inside Iran, equipping the persecuted Church in one of the most hostile regions in the world for such work. 

Dreams, Deliverance, and Divine Encounters 

From fire-filled visions to miraculous healing, God is moving among Iranians with truth, love, and power!

On our street evangelism trip, we came across an Iranian woman who had married an Afghan man. We approached them with a smile and handed the woman a New Testament, saying, “Hello, Jesus loves you. This is a gift from us to you – it’s the Good News.” She responded, “One night, I saw Jesus in a dream. He introduced Himself to me as the Messiah. But, I was in fire and torment, trying to get out, and someone was holding me back. Jesus said, ‘Take My hand, and you can be saved,’ but that person wouldn’t let me. I woke up and have been thinking about that dream ever since.” 

As we were speaking to her about salvation and the love of Christ – explaining how she could be saved — her husband walked over and said, “We are a Sunni family, and this is blasphemy. We cannot do this.” I replied, “God is love, and His love is for all people. You, too, can be saved.” But, he angrily grabbed his wife’s hand, pulled her away from us, and left. The shocking part came right after: God revealed to us that the husband was the same man from her dream – the one who wouldn’t let her be saved. We were so heartbroken for that woman and have kept her in our prayers. Would you keep her in your prayers as well? 


We met a husband and wife who both worked inside the Iranian government. The man said, “I serve in the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), but I’m well aware of Islam’s corruption and filth. I’m tired of it. Still, to provide for my family, I’m forced to stay in their system.” We spent an hour and a half talking with him about the Gospel and the mighty works of the Lord. He kept asking questions, deeply engaged, and finally said, “Does Jesus still do miracles today? Can He heal me?” He was in a lot of pain from his stomach and looked unwell. His wife said they had just come from the doctor, and their son was even bringing them loads of medicine from the pharmacy. We said to him, “If you believe, today you can receive both salvation and healing from Jesus Christ our Lord.” He boldly said, “I want that.” We took his hand, and with authority, declared the name of Jesus over his stomach issue. We commanded the pain and sickness to leave and declared healing from the Lord. Suddenly, his eyes closed, and he started to receive the fire of the Holy Spirit. He was falling under the power, and his wife jumped and caught him from behind. That moment was so powerful – they both knew something supernatural had happened. We prayed the prayer of salvation for them together, and right after that, the man turned to us and said, “I’m not going to take the pills my son is bringing. I won’t need them.” He showed his faith in action. We told him, “Your stomach is made new. You don’t need those pills anymore.” Even just recently, our team followed up with this family on WhatsApp – they’re doing amazing. We’ve connected them to our online church and Bible teaching so they can keep growing and falling more in love with Jesus. 

A Long-Awaited Home for ICI 

In January of this year, I found myself browsing LoopNet – the commercial real estate site – just to see if there were any available office spaces that might fit our ministry’s needs. It wasn’t the first time I’d looked. In fact, we’ve been believing in God for more than five years for a permanent home – an international headquarters here in the United States. A place that, after 44 years of ministry, Iranian Christians International (ICI) could finally call home.

Since 2020, we’ve searched, prayed, saved, and sown. We’ve invested in others’ building projects, helping other ministries see their dreams come to pass, all the while standing in faith that one day our dream would be fulfilled too. We celebrated with others, even as we kept trusting that our time would come. There were seasons when our prayers seemed to go unanswered, and our faith was tested. We had to stir ourselves up, refusing to let go of the promise. We reminded ourselves over and over: what God has spoken, He will bring to pass. 

But, the five-year journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Many voices told us, “Maybe this just isn’t for you.” Others said, “Just rent a small office,” or “Share a space in a church.” But, deep down, we knew that wasn’t us. And, that wasn’t what God told us. This is more than just securing a building; it’s fighting the good fight of faith by holding fast to what God has promised. It’s about establishing a strategic hub where the mission to reach the Persian-speaking world with the Gospel can thrive. A lighthouse to the nations shining the hope of Christ into some of the darkest places on earth. Now, we are stepping into the promise, and we invite you to step in with us. Everything we could’ve dreamt of, imagined, or hoped for God went exceedingly, abundantly beyond it all. 

In the best area of town, a commercial building opened up. A three-story property with 10 suites, 9 of them already leased to well-established tenants in a highly desirable location. And, the one available space? Perfectly tailored to meet the needs of our ministry. Oh dear God, You ARE so good. We took the step of faith, or maybe more accurately, a leap of faith, and we went ahead and purchased the building. It’s the largest financial move we’ve ever made as a ministry…but, we serve a big God. And, here’s something incredible – the income from the existing tenants covers the entire cost of the building-loan payments, interest, insurance, utilities, and maintenance. A $1.2 million loan completely sustained. 

After the deal was finalized, seasoned businessmen said to us, “How did you pull this off? No one sells income-generating buildings like this!” Our answer? One word: God. And, when we pay off the loan, every dollar of that rental income will be freed up to fuel the mission – to reach more Muslims with the Gospel, to make more disciples, and to spread even more of God’s goodness across the earth. Every day we walk into this building, we are overwhelmed by His faithfulness. And all of us echo the same words: 

“The LORD has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” – Psalm 118:23 

Your Partnership Fuels the Advancement of the Gospel 

Every Bible distributed, every new believer baptized and discipled, every persecuted Christian rescued, and every underground church equipped is made possible because of faithful partners like you. Your generosity is fueling a movement that is turning some of the fiercest enemies of the Gospel into its boldest messengers. 

So far this year: 

• Over 700 Muslims have come to Christ.

• More than 11,000 Bibles, New Testaments, tracts, and Gospel materials have been distributed. 

• Our underground printing project inside Iran continues to thrive, quietly resourcing the persecuted church with much needed resources. 

But, we’re not done yet. 

To sustain and expand this Kingdom momentum, we believe it’s time to establish our new headquarters. It will be much more than an office it will be a command center to: 

  • Increase our capacity
  • Strategize for greater impact 
  • Equip and send more ex-Muslim believers into the harvest fields 

We’re also excited to share that we’ve been blessed with a $100,000 Matching Fund Challenge through the end of July. Every dollar you give will be doubled to help us reach this goal, and $49,000 has already been raised! 

Would you prayerfully consider making a special gift today to help us cross the finish line? Every contribution moves us closer to a fully funded facility and frees us to focus fully on the mission God has entrusted to us. 

Thank you for standing with us in the calling which God has called us to. 

With Love, 

Mohamad Amin & Susan Faridi
