I'll share what I sent Dad,

I had a dream a couple nights ago and was in Iran. I had a church there but they began to persecute and say we couldn't preach no more, and not gather.
But what stood out was people were saying "See, Iran isn't all desert, there's plenty of green fields, and forests." I lost much detail of the dream but remember that much. I was not in a desert area.
So I looked it up, yup:

The girl on the right looks much like someone in the dream.

And this just posted yesterday too: Even that part was real:

We should pray for the Christian believers in Iran. Except for the authorities telling me I couldn't preach in the building or hold meetings, it was actually not bad otherwise. I never looked to see if Iran had forests, and yesterday I was totally away from the computer till this afternoon, so this is more than just a random dream.

"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions" (Joel 2:28)

Old men? I had my first prophetic dream when I was 19! But I had more visions when younger, not a whole lot, but a few.

Dang, this is heavy. I will pray for the Iranian Christians. Hmm, maybe building small stealth churches that could be quickly moved (portable trailers) in Iranian forests could spread the Gospel there.

That is up north by the Caspian Sea. There many well be Christian churches in those woods.

I just looked this up. In 2023, a church near the Caspian Sea was sold. :(

Quote from Christian Persecution: "The Assemblies of God church in Gorgan, northeast Iran, has over the years been led by some of the most well-known Iranian pastors, including three who were killed for their faith."

"For more than 25 years, the church building in Gorgan has stood empty and dormant, a relic to a former time when, even in the early days of the Islamic Republic, it had seemed possible, for a short while, for Christians – even converts – to meet inside a church building. "

This is sad. We got to get more Iranians into churches again.
