An unprecedented number of Muslims are choosing to follow Christ, especially in Iran as people search for a better life.

Iranians are growing tired of the ayatollahs and a nation led by the empty promises of their Islamic theocracy. An anonymous internal poll found that 80% now prefer a democratic government, and many are leaving Islam. …

According to [Todd] Nettleton, Vice President of Messaging at VOM, the faith option many are choosing is Jesus with at least a million Muslims reportedly leaving Islam for Christianity. …

“This is not something that is making the regime happy. And, really, in many ways, they are seeking to solidify their power and to crush any kind of dissent,” Nettleton said. …

Moreover, Nettleton contends family members and friends are more tolerant than the government about leaving Islam. …

“I think what’s happening there is actually representative of what’s happening in the Islamic world,” said Don Shenk, executive director of The Tide Ministry.

He explains how Muslims are experiencing dreams and visions, leading many to find purpose and a different understanding of God. …

Shenk says Tide Ministry radio broadcasts are even receiving positive responses in Afghanistan where the Taliban pose great danger for those seeking information from secret Christians within the country. …

Christianity is also spreading in Yemen, where the Joshua Project reports Christian growth is almost double the global average.

Next door, Nettleton sees the Saudi Arabian monarchy becoming a bit more tolerant of Christians and their churches. …

It’s a move of God’s Spirit bringing change that may eventually transform not only Iran but the entire Middle East.
