Through January 2026, protests have roiled the country of Iran. In response, the Islamic regime has brutally cracked down on the people. Much of the violence is now largely hidden, as the internet has been blocked inside the country. But the shaking of Iran continues.
Christians have been swept up in this chaos. Many have suffered for years, as the Islamic regime sought to stamp out the truth of Christ within its borders. Iran likely has the fastest growing community of Christians in the world today. So how is all of this affecting them? How should Christians in other parts of the world think and pray over the situation affecting Iranian believers?
We tackle these issues and more on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. We are joined by an Iranian sister in Christ who helps provide a window into the current situation inside Iran.

South Africa has been in the news lately, and for all the wrong reasons. Violence in the country has reached feverish levels. Racist laws and policies target Afrikaners and farmers, even as they’re being murdered at alarming rates.
Many of these people who are being targeted and harmed are biblical Christians. Yet few know much about their plight, and far too few have raised their voice on their behalf.
So what exactly is going on in South Africa? What do Christians need to know about what their spiritual brothers and sisters in Christ are enduring?
Louis Boshoff, a South African Christian, joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to answer these questions and more. He provides helpful context about the history of South Africa, cultural realities on the ground, and the country’s spiritual landscape. Armed with these insights, Christians around the world will be better able to tailor prayer and counter the darkness that has engulfed South Africa.
