Iranian & Afghan Christian
Fellowship:
-
Iranian and Afghan Christian Fellowship meets at 12:30 p.m. at McLean
Bible Church 8925 Leesburg Pike Vienna, VA 22082 in Room 1203-1204,
phone: 703-770-8687.
This fellowship began
meeting in November 2002 after many months of prayer. The Lord has
brought together Afghan, Iranian, and American Christians to form a
unique team for outreach and leadership development.
- On January 26th, a ten year old boy
who has been praying for his Afghani father walked into the fellowship.
He had no idea that there was an Afghan & Iranian Fellowship in the
church. He brought his mother who is a Christian from South America.
When she heard about the Fellowship she burst into tears. She has been
praying for her husband. Please pray that this boy's father will come to
the fellowship and even more importantly will come to know Jesus as his
Personal Savior. On February 2nd, the worship will be led by Afghan
Christians.
- Please pray for C. a young Iranian man
who is seeking to be in fulltime missions. Pray that he will be able to
raise needed support.
- An emphasis of this fellowship is TEAM
participation, to use people's gifts and to develop leadership qualities
in believers. Seven Afghan and Iranian Christians are sharing
responsibility for preaching, and testimonies. Other individuals are
involved in music, scripture reading, and serving in many other ways.

encourage Iranian believers in many places. He has a wonderful shepherd's
heart.
-
R & B, an Iranian MBB couple, are
ministering through weekly Bible Studies in homes on Saturdays and help
lead the monthly worship service. Several Muslims attend who have accepted
Jesus Christ after coming to the area. Please pray that the Lord would

Fellowship in VA.
