Dear Friend,
Thank you for standing with us.
In a time of uncertainty and crisis, your partnership is making a real difference. One person recently shared, “Thank you for bringing the voice of Iranians to the ears of the world.”
Messages like this remind us that people feel seen, heard, and not forgotten, and that God is using this ministry to give them both a voice and a sense of hope.
Because of you, we are still on the air. Because of you, we are still answering the calls. Because of you, hope is reaching into homes across Iran.
We have been so encouraged by the number of individuals seeking support and hope, and are honored to have served as a resource for those in Iran over the last 20 years. But this moment is unlike anything we’ve seen before. The need is unique, and the spiritual hunger is undeniable. Still, we hold fast to this truth:
“The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.”
2 Thessalonians 3:3
Thank you for your prayer and support.
With gratitude,
Edwin Keshish-Abnous Executive Director of Heart4Iran

HOPE IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS
Hope is Reaching Iran, Even Now
The message is clear: God is moving powerfully across Iran. Our engagement manager shared, “Despite communication barriers, people are still seeking truth, expressing deep frustration, and encountering the peace of Christ in the middle of crisis.” And as people are searching for answers, we are ready to connect, pray, and offer them the hope of Christ.
20 Years of Broadcasting Hope Into Iran
For more than 20 years, through our partnership with CBN, the Gospel has been broadcast into Iran through satellite television, digital platforms, and our 24/7 call center.
What began in 2006 with the launch of Mohabat TV, the first 24/7 Farsi Christian satellite channel, has grown into a lifeline for millions.
• Over 650,000 calls received
• More than 240,000 decisions for Christ
• Countless lives strengthened through discipleship and community
When the internet is shut down, satellite still reaches into homes, making it one of the most powerful tools to bring hope where it’s needed most.
“This is not just media, it’s ministry. And in this moment, it is a lifeline.”

VOICES from INSIDE IRAN
In recent weeks, we have received multiple incoming calls from Iran. In many cases, the calls were immediately disconnected upon answering, and our attempts to return them were unsuccessful, likely due to unstable or restricted communication conditions.
One caller was able to successfully connect with our team. A gentleman called us from Esfahan and shared that many people in Iran are feeling deeply discouraged and troubled by the recent news. He expressed that, from his perspective, there is widespread disappointment and a strong desire for meaningful change. He emphasized that many are not hoping for temporary solutions, but for a complete end to the current regime, stating that people are willing to endure great cost for that outcome.
In addition to these direct calls, we are also hearing from individuals through ongoing digital engagement in real time. A few days ago, a woman reached out to us via Telegram and shared, “As soon as I had internet access, you were the first place I wanted to reach out to.” Even in the midst of war, she described experiencing a deep sense of peace in Jesus, calling it a miracle and a gift from God that is sustaining her through these difficult days. She shared that she begins each morning in prayer and Scripture and expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting that our presence and support are making a meaningful difference for her and others like her during this critical time.
Another woman shared that she has been watching Mohabat TV for the past three months. She said that every time she watches, she is moved to tears and expressed how much she loves Mohabat TV.
Taken together, these conversations reflect a people navigating deep uncertainty while also showing unexpected openness to hope.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm, He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
