Iran: new Bible

In September Iran will have a new translation of the Bible.

For 18 years Elam Ministries and a major Bible translation agency have been working to provide Persian speakers with an accurate and modern version of the Scriptures. Their work is now finished and on September 22 Christian leaders from Iran and around the world will gather in Church House, Westminster for a service of dedication for this Bible.

Sam Yeghnazar, the founder and director of Elam Ministries, has no doubt about the impact that this Bible will have on the Iran region: ‘There is an unprecedented demand for the Bible throughout Iran. Thousands of Iranians are turning to Christ and the first thing they want is a Bible. We praise God for all our partners who have worked with us so we can send this wonderful new translation of the Scriptures to Iran’.
