3 ways to pray for Iran’s presidential election

After the Iranian president died in a freak helicopter crash in May, a snap election was called. Despite heavy persecution, the Church in Iran is one of the fastest growing in the world. So will a change in leadership make their lives easier, or more difficult? And how can Christians pray?

In recent months, Iran has not not strayed far from the headlines. In April, Iran launched a massive aerial attack on Israel, two weeks after a deadly strike on its consulate in Syria. A month later, President Ebrahim Raisi died in a freak helicopter crash that also killed the foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and six other people. Now, in June, there will be an election to install a new president.

Amid this tumult and unfolding change, Iranian Christians are praying for their nation. Would you join them in praying for three things?
