We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for our faithful partners. We thank You for their unwavering support, which enables us to share Your love and truth with the people of Iran.
Lord, as they read the incredible testimonies of ZeinOllah, Marjan, Zivar, Nourollah, Sara, Shahdokht, Mr. Habib, Zolleykhah, Mahmood, and Hamid. May their stories of transformation, healing, and salvation be a source of encouragement. These miracles are made possible, in part, through the generosity of our partners, who have answered the call to support this vital ministry.
We ask that You bless our partners abundantly, pouring out Your blessings upon their lives, their families, and their endeavors. May they know the joy of seeing lives changed and hope restored through their faithful giving. Strengthen their commitment to this work, and inspire others to join them in reaching the people of Iran with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We are deeply grateful for their partnership and for the impact, they are making in the lives of so many. May they continue to be a beacon of light and a source of hope in a world that desperately needs Your love.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
With Love, Dr. Mike Ansari and The Heart4Iran Family
This booklet is devoted to the courageous men and women of Iran who have traded disillusionment for eternal life in Jesus Christ! As you read through these testimonies, may your heart be inspired to believe in God for revival in Iran that will reach every city, village, and people group.
Iran is a beautiful country filled with beautiful people, and we count it a privilege to play a small part in God’s big plan for Iran! Remembering the promise found in Psalms 29:11, “The Lord gives strength to his people The Lord blesses his people with peace.”
Heart4Iran, together with our dedicated partners, stands at this pivotal moment in history, uniquely positioned to guide seeking hearts from their first curious questions to becoming powerful voices of hope in their communities.
All My Sorrows Disappeared
ZeinOllah lost his father several years ago in an accident. Due to financial difficulties, he moved to an orphanage run by Americans in Afghanistan. After graduating from high school, he and his younger brother left the orphanage to start a new life in a remote village in Qazni, a city in Southeast Afghanistan.
He came across our ad on Facebook and chatted with a counselor before connecting with us on WhatsApp to request the PDF of the Bible. He asked a lot of questions and prayed to receive Christ. He said, “Before praying, I was very anxious and confused. I didn’t know what to do with my life. But after I prayed with you, all my worries, fears about tomorrow, and sorrow just disappeared. I’m a different person — so much so that I don’t recognize myself! I have a deep peace! Praise God!” He promised to read the Bible every day and continues to ask us questions to grow in his faith!
Dear Lord, we lift up all Iranians who are seeking you, those who are searching for peace, hope, and truth. Guide them on their journey to finding You. Open their hears and minds to your Word, and ease their burdens and anxieties. Fill them with your Holy Spirit, granting them the same deep and abiding peace that ZeinOllah experienced. Protect them as they explore their faith, and connect them with communities of believers who can support and encourage them. May they find comfort, strength, and unwavering faith in you. Amen.
Marjan Was Healed
Marjan has been a believer for over four years. She had been suffering from a serious illness since 1989. Before that, she practiced inviting spirits and fortune-telling, and she was proud of her work. Gradually, her health declined, and she experienced severe headaches and seizures. During one of these episodes, she noticed a book with the title “The Gospel of Jesus Christ” on the cover. She began reading it and eventually became a believer.
One day, she listened to a sermon on Mohabat TV that mentioned healing is the children’s bread. Clinging to this promise, she had faith and began confessing that she would be healed. Within two weeks, she was completely healed of her seizures and all mental issues. She told us, “I am a believer, and I have experienced profound healing. Praise the Lord!”
Dear Lord, we lift up all Iranians to you, especially those who are suffering from illness or spiritual distress, just as Marjan was. We thank you for your healing power and the hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray that they, too, may encounter your love and experience the profound healing and peace that comes from believing in you. May they find strength in your promises and be filled with faith to overcome their challenges. We praise you for the miracles you perform and for the testimonies that inspire us.
Amen.
God Saved My Family
Zivar, a farmer, faced devastating betrayal when she discovered her husband with her best friend, resulting in paralysis that left her unable to walk or speak. One night, while her sons were participating in a religious ritual, Zivar felt utterly alone. While flipping through channels, she found Mohabat TV and felt as though the message was directly for her. Encouraged, she prayed for salvation and surrendered her life to Jesus. Soon after, she had a dream of Jesus, and the following day, she experienced a miraculous healing. She regained her ability to walk and speak without difficulty. This transformation empowered her to forgive her husband, leading to the restoration of their marriage. Her neighbors were astonished by her healing, and eventually, her husband and children also repented and accepted Christ. Now, Zivar and her entire household are saved, a testament to God’s transformative power.
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who are experiencing betrayal, isolation, and physical suffering, just as Zivar did. We thank you for your miraculous healing power and the hope found in Jesus Christ. We pray that they, too, may encounter your love in unexpected ways, feel your presence in their loneliness, and experience the transformative power of your salvation. May they find healing, forgiveness, and restoration in their lives, and may their families be drawn to you as well. We praise you for your ability to bring hope and wholeness to those in need.
Saved from Suicide
Nourollah was 12 when he first began to experience depression. His condition became so severe that he had to see a psychologist. He visited various shrines, mosques, and religious sites, seeking prayer and solace. At 27 years old, he had decided to commit suicide. Before taking that step, while working as a farmer, he went to water his fields. On the way, consumed by thoughts of suicide, he received a message from our team.
He opened up about his struggles, and we encouraged him to accept Christ for true peace. Having tried everything else, he was willing to give Jesus a chance as well, so he prayed. That first night, after praying, he felt better. The next night, he felt even better, and by the third night, he was completely happy and free from depression.
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who are struggling with depression, hopelessness, and thoughts of suicide, just as Nourollah did. We thank you for your message of hope and the peace found in Jesus Christ. We pray that they, too, may encounter your love and find true and lasting freedom from their burdens. May they be willing to give Jesus a chance, and may they experience the transformative power of surrendering their lives to you. We ask for your continued guidance and strength for those who are being discipled and growing in faith. Amen.
Mother and Daughter Saved
When Sara was about 8 years old, she had a dream in which Jesus Christ gave her a book called The Gospel and urged her to read it. Although she always remembered the dream, she never fully understood it and didn’t pursue it further.
One day, she discovered the Mohabat channel, fell in love with its programming, and began watching it daily. Eventually, she called for prayer. We offered to send her a Bible, and she was overjoyed, recalling her dream about Jesus wanting her to read the Gospel.
Sara expressed her gratitude for the programs, and together with her mother, she prayed to receive Jesus as her Lord and Savior!
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who are seeking you and longing for your truth, just as Sara did. We thank you for revealing yourself through dreams and the message of the Gospel. We pray that they, too, may encounter your love and be drawn to your Word. May they be open to receiving the message of salvation and find joy in knowing Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Bless the work of ministries like Mohabat channel that share your Gospel, and may many more Iranians come to know you. Amen.
My Family is Transformed
Shahdokht came to faith through Mohabat TV in 2018. Since then, she has been in regular contact with us and receiving discipleship. When we followed up with her this week, she testified that her spiritual state and life circumstances have greatly improved. She expressed that she now experiences a profound sense of peace and strength, attributing these changes to our guidance and the follow-up team.
Shahdokht shared that our encouragement has deepened her faith and trust in God, and she is now witnessing the fruits of that trust in her life. She praised God for the miracles He works in their lives every day, noting that both her well-being and that of her family have significantly improved.
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who have come to faith through the ministry of Mohabat TV, just as Shahdokht did.

Amen.
God Healed My Son
Mr. Habib came to faith through Mohabat TV and has been receiving discipleship from our follow-up team. He has learned to pray and now prays for everything all the time. When his child became ill, he called in for prayer. After taking their child for a check-up, they were informed that the child needed dialysis. They prayed, and during a subsequent visit to the doctor, they were told that dialysis was no longer necessary. However, when the medical equipment was being removed, the child began to bleed, and several doctors struggled to stop the bleeding without success. At that moment, Mr. Habib prayed desperately, shouting, “Jesus Christ, help us!” Within minutes, the bleeding stopped, and now their child is healthy, with no need for dialysis. Thanks be to God.
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who have come to faith and are learning to pray, just as Mr. Habib has. We thank you for the power of prayer and for the miracles you perform in response to our cries for help. We praise you for healing Mr. Habib’s child and for stopping the bleeding when doctors could not. We pray that you continue to watch over their child’s health and that their family may grow stronger in their faith. May this testimony inspire others to trust in your healing power and to call upon your name in times of need. Amen.
God Helped Me with Rent
Zolleykhah is a middle-aged woman who has had a very difficult life; however, she received prayer and discipleship from our call center. She lost her son in an accident and was in a challenging financial situation, living with her husband, son, and daughter.
Last month, she called for prayer because she was unable to pay her rent, which was a significant amount. After we prayed, she later shared that God had answered her prayers through an individual who stated there was no need to pay it back. She was incredibly thankful to God, who is always faithful in blessing her!
Dear Lord, we lift the people of Iran to you, especially those who have faced hardship and loss, just as Zolleykhah has. We thank you for your faithfulness and for answering prayers in times of need. We praise you for providing for Zolleykhah’s rent through the generosity of another person. We pray that you continue to bless her and her family, providing for their needs and comforting them in their sorrows. May Iranians continue to experience your love and faithfulness in their lives, and may they be a testimony to your goodness. Amen.
God Spoke to Me
Mahmood called Mohabat TV for the first time. He had been feeling very stuck and upset when he suddenly decided to turn on the channel. There, he saw people singing and worshiping while sharing the story of Joseph, explaining how God had performed miraculous acts for him and emphasizing the importance of not losing hope.
Mahmood felt as though God was speaking directly to him, encouraging him to maintain hope, and it brought him great joy. He thoroughly enjoyed the programming and called to express his gratitude. During the call, we prayed with him to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior!
Dear Lord, we lift up the people of Iran to you, especially those who are feeling lost and hopeless, just as Mahmood was. We thank you for speaking to them through the message of hope and encouragement, and for drawing them to yourself through the ministry of Mohabat TV. We praise you for the joy and peace they find in your presence. We pray that they may continue to hold onto hope and trust in your miraculous power. We ask that you bless them as they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and that they may grow in their faith and understanding of your love. Amen.
I Found Jesus
Hamid was watching Mohabat TV when he caught the Sima Masih program featuring Elnathan and Nazanin. Tears filled his eyes as his heart was deeply touched. He called in and prayed to receive Christ as his Lord!
He mentioned that he works as a security guard in a remote desert location, subsisting on dry bread. He was filled with joy at having become a Christian and requested a PDF version of the Bible.
Dear Lord, we lift the people of Iran to you, especially those who are seeking you in remote and difficult circumstances, just as Hamid is. We thank you for touching his heart through the Sima Masih program on Mohabat TV and for drawing him to yourself. We praise you for the joy he feels in accepting Christ as his Lord. Lord, we pray this same joy for all Iranians who are searching for the hope that is found in You. May they find strength and comfort in your presence, and may they be a light to those around them. Amen.
