"out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation."

"And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book and to open the seals thereof: because thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation: And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth" (Revelation 5:9-10, RHE).

"And Peter opening his mouth, said: in very deed I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons. But in every nation, he that feareth Him and worketh justice is acceptable to Him" (Acts 10:34-35, RHE).

"Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven... Parthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God" (Acts 2:5-11, RHE).

Persia has the potential for the largest Christian revival on earth.

Persia is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. It has one of the richest histories and cultures.

Christianity started in the Middle East and is not new to Persia.

Judaism has been part of the Persian culture since the beginning. Christianity found a home in Persia from the start.

Many saints have preached the Gospel in Persia.

Christianity begun hundreds of years before Islam and was in Persia before Islam. Persia is not Islamic.

When some Arabs invade countries, they force Islam on the populations. The people of those populations do not have a choice and are forced to practice Islam. The Gospel is not brought by sword.

Those who call themselves Christian and suffer from racism do not seem to know much about the history of Christianity or about world history. It is helpful for Christians to know their faith and it's history, as well as the history of the Middle East. It is important to see each human being from God's eyes and love them rather than look at them with sinful pride as if we are better than them. When we see someone from India that practices hinduism at the store, the Christian thing to do is to love them for being children of God; we can tell them about the Gospel with love. It is not Christian to start bullying them and hurt their feelings.
