Government Burns Bibles

Iran
the Middle East

July 29, 2010

A government website in IRAN reported that they had confiscated and burned hundreds of smuggled Bibles. They derided these Bibles by calling them “perverted.”

Pray that more Iranian Christians will have access to God’s Word in their own language. “For You, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O LORD, from my youth.”
