222 Ministries Conference – June 2012
In Times of Great Change, this will be…
A Time for Intercession
A Time for Worship
A Time for Unity
1st Chronicles 12:32
“From Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command.”
Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, more people have come to Christ in Iran than in the previous 1300 years. Over one million have answered the call to salvation, and despite significant oppression against Christians, including imprisonment, torture and even martyrdom, this touch of God continues with the expansion of house churches across Iran.
After the Arab Spring, with ongoing conflict in Syria and increased tension with Iran, uncertain times continue in the Middle East; events could bring significant changes, but also great opportunities. As Christians should we merely be bystanders or should we be destiny makers, uniting in prayer (Mat 18:19)? We want to see God’s will unfold, praying for peace to impact the Middle East region, and in particular the situations relating to Iran and Israel.
Over 300 Iranian and Afghan Christians from 222’s family of churches in 20 countries, including the Middle East and Europe, will gather at Zelhem (www.betteld.nl), The Netherlands, for a conference from 11 to 17 June 2012. We will have a powerful teaching and prophetic ministry team who will join us as we cry out to God our Father for His presence. It will be a key time of commissioning and equipping for leaders to be renewed in God’s power to carry the Gospel to the Iranian people.

222 would like to invite you to join us at this event where you will hear outstanding Farsi worship from 222’s worship team, hear internationally recognised teaching and prophetic voices, and join in building an altar of worship, praise and intercession. As a part of this conference we have a section set aside to focus on issues specific to women in the Iranian context. This will be a unique, truly historic and unprecedented gathering.
Even if you are unable to join us, you can still be part of this commissioning event that will enable us reach many more unsaved people and raise new house churches in a fresh wave of God’s evident touch on the Iranian people. 222 is looking for partners who will stand with us in this season of great opportunity that God has created. We are looking to raise support for ministry areas that will help this happen, such as:
• Training 500 house church leaders this year to take the Gospel to Farsi-speaking people. This will include at least one event specifically for 40 women in the second half of the year;
• Producing two new high quality TV series, each of 24 programmes, and;
• Support for Christian refugees forced to flee persecution in Iran.

222 Ministries exists to advance the Kingdom of God in Iran
We want to see Iran transformed into a nation that bears the image of Christ – renewed in every level of society from spheres of influence in government and business, through to everyday relationships, families and the whole community.
Our heart is that this transformed nation of Iran will be a blessing and influence on its surrounding countries and throughout the Middle East.
We hope you find our website helpful. Please be patient with us as we add more content and continue to develop the site.
Iran today

Government
Since 1979 Iran has been an Islamic theocratic republic, with elected President and Parliament, subject to the appointed Supreme Leader’s veto.
Economy
Iran is a lower-middle income country, which since the 1979 Revolution has consistently experienced double-digit inflation levels. Its economic structure leads to boom and bust cycles.
Religion and Religious Freedom
Iran is predominated by Shi’a Islam but has a long Christian heritage, as well as being the home of other religions (Zoroastrian and Baha’i). Persecution continues to be focused on those becoming Christians from a Muslim background.
Addiction, Depression and Prostitution
With more than a million prostitutes, Iran also has highest opiate addiction rate in the world and significant levels of depression in the population.
