Persian World Outreach exists to reach out to the estimated 80 million Persian-speaking people worldwide. 

Most of these Persian-speaking people are Islamic and need the opportunity to hear and respond to the

transforming gospel of Jesus Christ.

The three priority goals of Persian World Outreach are:

To demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to Persian-speaking people
To carry out the Great Commission among Persian speaking people
To encourage others in outreach among Persian-speaking people

An Introduction to Persian-speaking People 

Afghanistan, known as the Crossroads of Central Asia, is a country of 650,000 square kilo�meters and is home to some 23 million

people. The official languages of Afghanistan are Pushtu and Dari. Millions of Afghans have migrated as refugees to Iran and Pakistan

and to other parts of the Middle East, the United States, Europe and other areas of the world. The devastation of years of war has brought

great suffering to the nation. Currently, Afghan refugees are returning to Afghanistan as the political atmosphere has become more open.

The situation in Afghanistan as well as among the Afghan populations outside the country open a wealth of opportunities to minister and

witness to Dari-speaking people in Afghanistan and around the world.

 

Iran, located in southwest Asia, is a country of 1.6 million square kilo�meters and is home to 75 million people. The official language of

Iran is Farsi. In addition to the Persians, approximately 65 other ethnic groups reside in Iran. Among these are Azeri, Luri, Kurd, Baluchi,

Turkmen, Qashqai and Parsee. They represent people, entire villages as well as individuals, desperately in need of the gospel. Also, since the

Islamic revolution in 1979, millions of Iranians have migrated to other parts of the Middle East, the United States, Europe and other areas

of the world. This dispersion opens a wealth of opportunities to minister and witness to Persian-speaking people around the world.

 

In addition to these peoples inside Afghanistan and Iran, millions of Persian-speaking  people have migrated to other parts of the Middle

East, the United States, Europe and other areas of the world.  This dispersion opens a wealth of opportunities to minister and witness

to Persian-speaking people around the world.

 

Methods Used to Reach Out to Afghan and Iranian People

Persian World Outreach is reaching out in many ways to share Jesus' love world�wide with the millions of Afghans & Iranians. Among current

outreach methods are:

1.             Christian Leadership Training:

      Persian World Outreach Theological Studies Program provides Biblical, theological, vocational and educa�tional training for Afghan &

Iranian pastors, mis�sionaries, church planters and other church leaders worldwide. This correspondence study is in Persian. The

purpose of this program is to equip Afghan and Iranian Christians to come to Christ and grow in their relationship with Him. Then, to

help them to share the Good News with other Afghans & Iranians. With an esti�mated one-and-a-half million Iranians and approximately

40 Iranian churches and Afghan & Iranian fel�lowships in the United States, there is a tremendous need to provide relevant and

practical Christian training in the Persian language.

Certificate Programs offered through  the  PWO  Theological Study Program

2.  Mobilizing and Equipping Christian Workers Among Persian-Speaking People

 

Persian World Outreach seeks to mobi�lize and equip Afghan &Iranian Christians to minister among Persian-speaking people worldwide. One

missions opportunity is through the missions internship program.

 

� Pray for Persian-speaking Christian workers to be placed in strategic areas of the world with sig�nificant populations of Afghans & Iranians

such as Afghanistan, Turkey, Greece, as well as in the United States.

� Help provide finances for transportation and living expenses for these short term missionaries. 

 

  3.  Church Planting

Persian World Outreach's first church plant, Emmanuel Persian Church in West Hills, CA was started in 1996. Since the PWO Headquarters

was moved to NJ in 2002, two other Afghan and Iranian Churches have been started. One is the Afghan and Iranian Christian Fellowship

in McLean, VA and the other is the Afghan and Iranian Christian Fellowship in NJ. 

Several American Christians minister along-side Persian-speaking leaders in these church-planting efforts. Opportunities are available to

minister locally among Afghan and Iranian peoples in these areas. You can become involved with Afghan & Iranian Church planting

by praying for and supporting the qualified national Christians serving as missionary church planters.

4.  Partnership and Networking

Persian World Outreach partners with other Great Commission Christian organizations, churches, and individuals around the world. The

goal is to reach Afghans & Iranians The results of this partnering and networking are

  • Many Persian-speaking people are experiencing the love of Jesus Christ in their lives, receiving Christ as Savior.
  • They are growing in their Christian walk & developing their gifts in local Persian-language churches

  • New Christian materials are being developed and distributed in the Persian language and other lan�guages commonly used by other

  • people groups in Iran.

5.  Distribution of Bibles and Other Christian Literature

Persian World Outreach distributes Bibles and other Christian literature to Persian-speaking individuals and churches around the world as

well as to other missionaries and organiza�tions working among Persian-speakers. Persian World Outreach serves as a resource agency for

existing Persian Christian materials� such as Bibles, New Testaments, tracts, videos, teaching and preaching cassettes & CDs and

Christian music cas�settes & CDs. PWO also translates and develops new Persian Christian resources for distribution worldwide.

6.     Humanitarian Relief Work

In addition to ministering physically and spiritually to Persian-speaking refugees in many parts of the world, Persian World Outreach is

also pre�pared to offer humanitarian relief in events of earthquakes, floods, and other disasters to Persian-speaking people both

inside and outside of Afghanistan and Iran

See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?

Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance?

Who has understood the mind of the Lord , or instructed him as his counselor?

Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way?

Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding?

To whom, then, will you compare God?

What image will you compare him to? Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.  No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.

Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:10-14, 18-31
