Persian Diaspora Partners: A 2024 Recap Update

2024 witnessed three visits to our partners in the Persian Diaspora, and a Spring visit from Dariush Golbaghi, founder of Safehouse, to several congregations in the United States. In August we met with the men of Radmard in Türkiye. The visit allowed for a small group of men to engage with Muslim Background Believers for Bible study, coaching, and mutual sharing of testimonies. In September we conducted a visioning visit to a Persian congregation in Brussels. The year concluded in Türkiye where people from six congregations throughout the US facilitated a leadership conference for Gates of Heaven, hearing stories from PARS students, meeting other ministry leaders in the Persian diaspora, and visiting the ancient sites of the “7 churches.

Persian Diaspora Partnerships (Radmard) Update September 2024

With August comes hope borne from fresh starts. Our young ones are experiencing new teachers and the fun of classmates reuniting. Our congregations are stepping into Fall with new series, studies, and opportunities. For The Outreach Foundation, August brought a visit with the men of Radmard, one of our partners in the Persian Diaspora. Radmard, which means “men of purity,” is a ministry offering Persian-speaking families around the world a fresh start through men transformed by Christ. Our visit in August opened our eyes to the breadth and depth of this ministry.

Persian Diaspora Partnership (Radmard) Update June 2024

This morning my devotional reading took me to Philippians 1, which contains this verse that most of us have heard. “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ...” (v 27a). Lately, I hear a wonderful affirmation for the work of The Outreach Foundation, yet it is not our work. Rather, I get to sit in the passenger seat and watch the Holy Spirit cause faith to bloom in new ways among people from the U.S. as they intersect the lives of our partners who are doing the work. It’s their work, not ours!
