Iran Alive Ministries’ mission is to transform the lives of Iranians through viral evangelism, obedience-based discipleship and practical leadership development via satellite TV, Internet and the support of Church planting. Today, Iran Alive broadcasts the Gospel 24/7 from their studio in Dallas to Iran and the Middle East.
