Like you, we have been closely following the delicate situation in Iran during the past month. Reports on the number of protesters killed vary from 7,000 to more than 30,000, depending on the source. A second aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, is now in the region as U.S.-Iran nuclear talks are underway. The Middle East, and Iran in particular, has always been a tinderbox. It will continue to be until Jesus returns. This is a critical time for Iran and the global Church, so we are amping up efforts to stand with our courageous Iranian brothers and sisters.
