Program areas at Iran Alive Ministries
Church 7 - a global church for Iran: church 7 provides a lifeline for the estimated 2 million believers who have no other option for church of any kind. No option for the fellowship, discipleship, training, or encouragement that is readily available and enjoyed by those of us in the west. We have been broadcasting to Iran, the middle east, and europe since december 2001. On january 1, 2012, we began broadcasting 24/7 on our own channel, shabakeh7, which means channel 7. This channel is part of our strategy to transform Iran and is used not only for evangelism but also for teaching and planting underground household churches. We receive thousands of calls from christian seekers and new believers who watch our programs. Over 50 million iranians have access to satellite tv, and we have an estimated 3-6 million daily viewers from Iran, the middle east, and europe via satellite, and from anywhere in the world via the internet. Satellite tv is a proven method for indigenous underground household church planting, discipleship, and evangelism. Counseling center: iranians have desperate needs. They cry out for care, understadning, direction, and prayer. They need someone to talk to, someone who has biblical knowledge and the compassion of christ. The call and follow-up center compliments every other ministry program because it connects one-on- one with iranians in need. Trained christian volunteers, many of them experienced counselors and pastors, staff the phones 24 hours per day. Fluent in farsi, they receive wisdom from god's word as they minister, pray, and encourage. Tens of thousands of iranians have found help through this ministry since 2001. Our call center is a channel for listeners to voice their questions and talk through issues they are facing in their personal lives with someone who cares. Callers have the opportunity to be heard, prayed for, and encouraged. The call center compliments our live tv broadcast ministry and connects with viewers who are tuning in worldwide. Some callers even share their testimonies and questions on our live tv broadcast. The call and follow-up center is a critical part of Iran Alive's strategy to win Iran for christ.
