PERSIAN NEW YEAR COMPASSION MINISTRIES

March 27, 2020

IMAGINE IF CHRISTMAS WAS CANCELLED…

In the Persian World, Nowruz (Persian New Year), is the equivalent of Christmas in America. Very few stores would be open, people have time off of work, kids are off of school, many travel cross country to visit relatives they rarely get to see, etc. Persian New Year could be thought of like this. It is a time of gift-giving, celebrations, traveling, visiting loved ones, and lots of all-night parties. Now imagine Christmas was cancelled. Weeks leading up to Christmas all the stores are closed (which is when small business owners usually make the most money), no one is allowed to travel outside of their cities, flights are closed, and you are forced to stay home in isolation. Many Americans are thanking God this terrible illness of COVID-19 didn’t fall at our Christmas time of year- but thats exactly what happened to Iran, Afghanistan, and the Persian World.

On top of an already tanking economy, hyper-inflation and US Sanctions business owners were already suffering tremendously, but now at the time of year when they would have been able to make up for some of the previous month’s lack they are being hit hard. Economic crisis, fear, and emotional disparity make for a perfect storm of even more Muslims looking for light and hope in their darkest hour.

We are seeing thousands open to Christ right now like never before, and because of our unique access, we have an opportunity to reach even more truth-seeking Muslims through Compassion Ministry. We are going into some of the darkest, most difficult-access regions and distributing clothing, food, medical supplies, and HOPE!

Your gift of $100 will provide 20 COVID-19 prevention kits, and your gift of $1,000 will supply 10 families with a food and clothing delivery. Every individual and family we access with compassion, we follow up with discipleship. Compassion + Discipleship – because discipleship it at the heart of everything we do.

At GCM, we have a very unique access into places where most NGO’s and Religious Organizations cannot reach. By giving through GCM you are reaching the unreached with the Gospel, and HOPE.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership. We couldn’t do it without you!

Shavuot, Christianity, and the Law

We believe the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are inspired by God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. (2 Timothy 3:15-17, 1 Peter 1:21)

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent who has revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 3:22)

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He intercedes for us, in His present rule as Head of the Church, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Matthew 1:23, Luke 1:31)

We believe in the creation of mankind in God’s image, and the fall of man, resulting in universal guilt and total depravity; and the necessity, therefore, of redemption and restoration; that all men and women are lost spiritually and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for regeneration by the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:26-27, Genesis 2:17)

We believe salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life. (Luke 24:47, John 3:3)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life in the presence of our Lord, and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. (Matthew 25:46, Mark 9:43-48)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church, which has the duty to preach the Gospel to every person. (Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 2:22)

We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to prayer, to the service of our Lord, to His authority over our lives, and to the ministry of teaching, preaching, the prophetic, the apostolic, and evangelism. (Ephesians 4:11-13)

We believe in upholding the ordinances of the church of water baptism and holy communion.

The ordinance of baptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe in Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus, they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 10:47,48, Romans 6:4)

The Lord’s Supper, consisting of the elements—bread and the fruit of the vine—, is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4), a memorial of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers “till He comes!”
