"Holy Diplomacy" w/special guest Ms. Lily Meschi of Iran Alive Ministries [Sea 4 / Ep 17]

Friends, there are MANY countries on planet Earth where the government and local officials HATE Christianity, followers of Christ and everything associated with the Bible….so much so, that they actually persecute, jail and even KILL those members of their societies which follow Jesus Christ. Iran has always been one such country, where followers of Christ can face harassment and ….but what if I told you that – RIGHT NOW - Iran is experiencing a sudden UPSURGE of former lifelong Muslims who are not only converting to Christianity, but who’re also now speaking up and out against their former faith lives in the process? Well…come connect with us for this special episode of “Deeper in the Word”, where we are joined by our VERY special guest and friend of the show, Ms. Lily Meschi, who is Director of Partner Relations for Iran Alive Ministries! Iran Alive Ministries broadcasts a 24/7 satellite TV channel into the Middle East and Central Asia with 130 million potential viewers. In fact, an independent survey has shown that it is THE MOST watched Christian channel in Iran, with 7.7% of the population (6 million people) calling it “our favorite channel, and we watch it daily.” Additionally, Iran Alive has planted one of the largest underground church networks inside Iran, and has an online training school with over 2,000 students being equipped to serve the Lord and be workers for the harvest in their home regions. Ms. Lily - who was born in Iran and later moved to America - discusses her CRAZY, Hollywood-like background, and how cultural customs and life ultimately brought her from Iran to America via an arranged (and abusive) marriage; how she found the Lord in a country where women are suppressed and mistreated at every turn; how and why Christianity is EXPLODING throughout Iran and other countries in that region; and how events transpiring in Iran TODAY are actually fulfilment of biblical prophecy! Don’t miss this one, y’all!
