Ahvaz, Iran - 110 Cities

Let's broaden our global perspective and pray for the city of Ahvaz, Iran.

Ahvaz is the capital city of the Khuzestan province in southwestern Iran. Due to its dominant oil sector, it is one of the most polluted cities on the planet.

Following a botched 2015 nuclear deal with the U.S., firm sanctions on Iran have weakened their economy and further tainted the public opinion of the only Islamic Theocracy in the world.

As the access to basic necessities and governmental planning worsens, the people of Iran are further disillusioned with the Islamic utopia the government promised. These are just a few of the many factors that are contributing to Iran hosting the fastest-growing church in the world.

Prayer Points:

  • Pray for the advancement of God's Kingdom throughout the 6 languages of this city, particularly among the Iraqi Arabs, Lakis, and Bakhtiaris.
  • Pray the leaders of the Gospel SURGE as they risk their lives to share the good news of Jesus and plant churches; pray for them to have supernatural protection, wisdom, and courage and for their faith to be strengthened.
  • Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to be birthed in Ahvaz that multiplies throughout the country.
  • Pray for followers of Jesus to walk in the power of the Spirit.
  • Pray for a resurrection of God's divine purpose for this city.

November 12, 2024

Disciple-Making Principle: Distribute "Hot Coals" Have you ever tried to start a new fire with only a few logs, sticks and a match?

Focus on the Gaps

October 29, 2024

Disciple Making Principle: Focus on the Gaps One thing that every disciple needs to be equipped in is to have eyes to see where the kingdom isn’t. Now that sounds kind of strange. We’re naturally wired to look at what is.  But we need to develop eyes to see where the kingdom isn’t.

Tartar in Turkey

October 24, 2024

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today Romans 8:3 "The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins." The Tartar People The Tartar people in Turkey have their ancestry in Mongolia. Many live a transient lifestyle. Some believe in supernatural powers such as the "evil eye", involving the ability to curse someone with an intense look. Unlike most Muslims some of the Tatar eat pork, and very few observe the prescribed Islamic fasts. They remain more liberal than most orthodox Muslims of Central Asia, even inviting women to pray in the mosques instead of at home. Unfortunately, the Tatars' view of Christianity has been scarred by negative interactions with the Russian Orthodox Church and its earlier attempts to convert them through force. This has served to push them to be more dedicated to Islam and wary of any form of Christianity. Pray for barriers to be broken down. Pray for Muslim background disciple makers to be sent from other movements to the Tartars in Turkey.

Movements Start New Movements

October 22, 2024

Disciple Making Principle: Movements Start New Movements In the past 30 years of practicing DMM, research shows that over 80% of movements are started by other movements. Part of the reason behind this is momentum. A movement is defined by most as: a rapid and exponential growth in making disciples. Among the DMM community we say you have reached movement status when there are at least 4 generations of churches among at least 4 different streams, including around 1000+ people. That is momentum! Once you've reached this level of healthy disciples who are reproducing themselves you also begin to see these churches gain a heart for other people groups, cities, and nations. They begin to desire to reach beyond their boarders and see others come into the Kingdom too. This is why it is important to continue to coach and mentor current movements. They are highly effective in starting new movements in neighboring regions. Pray for movement leaders to work well with other movement leaders as they lead their movements in finding the best strategies for starting new movements.

Hearing the Good News

Romans 10: 14 & 17 "But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? " "So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ."

By What Power?

October 19, 2024

Acts 4:5-10 "The next day the council of all the rulers and elders and teachers of religious law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, along with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and other relatives of the high priest. They brought in the two disciples and demanded, “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?” Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people, are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead."

The Tajik in Turkey

October 17, 2024

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God!  I will be honored by every nation.  I will be honored throughout the world." The Tajik People Many of the Tajik people living in Turkey have migrated from Iran, Tajikastan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan in hopes of finding a better, or at least easier, life. Many have not found this in Turkey yet continue to walk around without hope. Tajiks in Turkey are a proud, diverse, surviving people, but are also recognized to be gracious and hospitable. They are hard workers and very family oriented. Like most peoples of Central Asia, the Tajiks can be either urban or rural.  Tajiks are virtually all Muslim, with most being Sunni Muslims of the conservative Hanafite branch. However, they also practice spiritism based on folk beliefs that include the use of amulets and charms. For some of them, especially those in Turkish urban areas, Islam has been weakened. The Tajik people are still classified as unreached no matter where in the world they live.

Model, Assist, Watch, and Launch

October 15, 2024

Disciple Making Principle: Model, Assist, Watch, and Launch What is M.A.W.L.? It has to do with the disciple making process. Jesus used this process with His disciples. He modeled how to do the work of the Kingdom. They went with Him, watched Him and learned. He then invited them to assist Him in the work. They joined Him in feeding the five thousand, and in healing the sick, casting out demons, etc. He then sent them out to do the same. Then He checked in with them (watch) to see how they were doing. Jesus left and returned to Heaven, giving them a command and commission to carry on the work. Most DMM Catalysts are good at modeling and good at leaving. We don’t do so well on the assist and watch parts of M.A.W.L. Modeling is fun and exciting. If you are a natural pioneer, you also like to leave, moving on to new places and visions. The assist and watch parts of M.A.W.L. are vitally important. They are essential aspects of the disciple making process.

Somalis in Turkey

October 10, 2024

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today Matthew 19:26 "Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” The Somali People The 28,000 Somali living in Turkey do have access to a complete translated Bible, along with several audio and video options to hear about the truth of Jesus. Sadly, they still remain some of the least reached both in the world and those within Turkey. Somali in Turkey tend to stick together in smaller communities, making breakthrough into this population a little more challenging. Pray for the gospel to penitrate this community and spread rapidly. Our God is a God of the impossible.

Anticipate Rapid Reproduction

October 8, 2024

Disciple Making Principle: Anticipate Rapid Reproduction One of the most striking characteristics of Church Planting Movements is the speed at which they grow and multiply. This is due in part to the focus on rapid reproduction, but also to the fact that these movements often occur in areas with high population density and a high degree of social connectivity. Rapid reproduction is facilitated by the use of simple, reproducible models of church planting and disciple making, as well as a reliance on lay leadership and small, informal gatherings of believers. This allows for new churches to be started quickly and easily, without the need for extensive resources or external support. Healthy churches are characterized by a vibrant worship life, a commitment to sharing the Gospel with others, a willingness to serve their communities, a focus on discipleship and education, and a deep sense of community and fellowship among members.

The Shikaki in Turkey

October 3, 2024

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today Luke 13:10-13 "One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!" The Shikaki People The Shikaki Kurdish are actually part of a much greater Kurd population. They have experienced great oppression and hate in Turkey. They follow Islam, hoping for social justice, but finding none. Mullahs (Muslim spiritual leaders) play an important role in the social and cultural life of those living in the country. Until recent times, mullahs would act as village witch doctors, performing ceremonies and reciting chants to drive out madness or cure the sick. However, We know only Jesus can truly heal and restore the sick and weary.

For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through his holy prophets.'"

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today Acts 8:13 "Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went, and he was amazed by the signs and great miracles Philip performed." The Romani People Romani speaking people originated in India where their ancestors worked as musicians, entertainers, and metal workers. They were discriminated against and excluded from Hindu temples. Later, they were sent to Persia. After traveling south they became known as Middle Eastern Romani. Many live a hard life as refugees or nomads, collecting recycleable goods or begging on the street to pay for food, though some are settled in houses. Romani marriages usually take place between couples in their teens. The quality of health care, nutrition, housing, and education tends to be poor in Romani communities. They are usually Muslim, and they follow the practices and beliefs of the Islamic faith, though there are a few Christians in Turkey.

Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.'" Pontic Greek People The Pontic Greeks in Turkey traditionally lived on the southern shores of the Black Sea. They suffered widespread massacres and what is now usually termed "ethnic cleansing" at the beginning of the 20th century. Many found refuge by hiding in the mountains, and others migrated to other countries. The surviving Pontic Greeks converted to Islam which allowed some of them to escape Muslim Turk persecution. There are currently no Christian resources (scripture, videos, etc.) in the Pontic Greek language.

Some consider this Slavic people a subgroup of the Bulgarians. The largest Pomak population is in Turkey, and they were relatively isolated from other Muslims for centuries. Their language even lacks many religious words vital to the Islamic faith and traditions.

Know that Every Disciple is a Disciple Maker

Disciple Making Principle: Know That Every Disciple Is A Disciple Maker God has made all believers disciple makers because His Holy Spirit dwells within us and enables us.

When every disciple understands their role as a disciple maker the light shines, more people hear the good news, more people enter the kingdom, and in turn are equipped to make disciples in their circles of influence.

Acts 3:1-10 - Miraculous Healing "But Peter said, 'I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!' Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them. All the people saw him walking and heard him praising God. When they realized he was the lame beggar they had seen so often at the Beautiful Gate, they were absolutely astounded!"

Model to Reproduce

September 3, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Model To Reproduce In movements, it's crucial to keep things simple so they can be reproduced by all disciples and churches. However, merely telling people isn't adequate. For example in the first several chapters of Luke, Jesus modeled proclaiming the kingdom, healing the sick, and casting out demons. Then in Luke 9 and 10, he sent his disciples out to do the same! Disciple makers must model with the goal of reproducing so that new disciples and churches can be fully trained and equipped and so this healthy DNA can be passed along to each spiritual generation.

Sacrificially Help Those in Need

August 27, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Sacrificially Help Those in Need Our Father in heaven is our great example of this movement principle; He is always extravagantly generous with everyone. In 2 Corinthians 9:6 we are reminded that "whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." When disciples serve as the hands and feet of Jesus in their communities they demonstrate the Father's unconditional love which many people have never felt before.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." The Laz People In Turkish folklore, the Laz had a reputation for plundering, piracy, and kidnapping. Today, however, this indigenous people group are respected as industrious, educated, adventurous, and trustworthy people. Centuries ago, many Laz converted to Christianity. When the Ottomans conquered Turkey in the fifteenth century most Laz became Sunni Muslims. Today, many Laz in Turkey are known for their traditionally conservative Islam.

John 15:1-8 "I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father."

Kyrgyz in Turkey

Let's pray specifically for one of the unreached people groups living in Turkey today. Colossians 3:12 "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." The Kyrgyz People in Turkey The Kyrgyz are a Turkic people who originated in southern Siberia and northeastern China. For centuries they often needed to flee dangerous nations. Today, most Kyrgyz are Muslim and many turn to mediums and seers to cure sickness with magic, communicate with spirits, and control events. Almost all new Kyrgyz believers have to go through a breaking of demonic powers over their lives. Pray for families to come into the Kingdom of light together and break their allegiances to evil spirits. Pray for these new disciples to learn they are dearly loved by God and how to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Walk in Humility

August 13, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Walk in Humility The humility of a disciple maker speaks volumes where the world generally values the opposite: attention, saving face, and pride. As Paul says about Jesus in Philippians 2: "...he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!" As disciple makers are humble servants of those around them, they leave room for the Lord to move in power and receive all the glory.

Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.

Die to Self

August 6, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Die to Self Movement catalysts consistenly evaluate their disciple making practices to answer the question what is it going to take to reach this whole people group? They must be willing to die to themselves so that they may be available for however God wants to use them. As Jesus explained in John 12, "...unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."

Overcome Persecution and Suffering

July 23, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Overcome Persecution and Suffering Disciples who are trying to multiply disciples to start movements can expect persecution, spiritual warfare, and suffering. At first, the persecution is likely to come from the existing church Body unfortunately. Later, when the disciple-making groups start to multiply rapidly and thousands are coming to faith, it is difficult not to be noticed. That is when external persecution is likely. Disciples may be targeted by authorities, called in for questioning, deported, or worse.

In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Revelation 20:4 "Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years."

Develop Indigenous Praise and Worship

July 16, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Develop Indigenous Praise and Worship Encouraging local followers to create their own forms of praise and worship is a really important element of how disciples in movements do church together, so that church looks as familiar and normal as it can in that cultural setting. The church works thoughtfully and prayerfully to indigenize praising Jesus into the forms that make sense today so that the church forms don’t look like Western churches and therefore erode people’s identity in their ethnicity or their nationality. They can fully be Christians within their national context.

Be Led by the Holy Spirit

July 2, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Be Led By The Holy Spirit When the Spirit moves in a people group or city amazing things can happen. Movements today testify that many discovery bible studies begin because of an encounter with God. Many disciplemakers are led to lost people who need a miracle and this encounter with God kickstarts a discovery study group. Movement leaders tell of the Spirit leading them to new people and place, speaking for them when the enemy attacks, and giving them wisdom and knowledge previously unknown. The Spirit opens the doors for obedient disciplemakers to walk through. Pray for each disciple of Christ to remain close to Jesus and be led by the Spirit each and every day.

The church supports one another throughout the week, living life together, doing ministry together and interacting on a deeper level, like a healthy family.

Multiply New Disciples and Churches

June 18, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Multiply New Disciples and Churches Movements around the world measure their effectiveness by measuring how many healthy new disciples are making more healthy new disciples, and how many healthy churches are reproducing new healthy churches. Multiplication is instilled as DNA from the very first discovery bible study. Members are asked to obey the word and share the story they just learned with someone who needs to hear it. They are then taught that when they find an interested seeker they should encourage them to start their own discovery group. In this way discovery groups, and eventually churches, are multiplied quickly and effectively.

Go Slow to Go Fast

June 11, 2024

Disciplemaking Principle: Go Slow to Go Fast In disciple making we want to focus on the foundations first; building character qualities and healthy DNA that will result in great depth and fruit. Movements often say "Focus on a few to win many." Jesus focused on the 12 disciples and mentored them for 3 years, and from them the church grew quickly. It takes time to develop healthy disciples worth multiplying, but when they do multiply they will produce healthy generational churches that are self sustaining and reproducing. Go slow now, in order to see the gospel spread faster and farther later.
