This article from Crosswalk Headlines titled “1 Million Muslims in Iran Have Turned to Christ as 50,000 Mosques Closed” spotlights the spiritual awakening of a million Muslims in Iran as they turn to find and accept Christ. The conversion has led many mosques to close due to a substantial drop in attendance. Don Shank, executive director of The Tide ministry, said in response to Gospel-centered messages being broadcasted into Iran: “We get responses from listeners, who say, 'I always thought that God wanted to punish me. Now I understand that God loves me.'”
