## Resource

The underground Church In Iran is unafraid and unashamed. That's why they are known as the fastest growing underground church in the world. Recently, several Iranian Christians have paid the ultimate cost with their lives during the bloody uprising in January. My newest podcast is a special report on their courage, also featuring a fascinating interview with Lana Silk of "Transform Iran" digital online church.
