TWR Canada’s Persian Ministry

For more than 40 years, we have been reaching the Persian-speaking world with the hope of the gospel. Through web radio, social media, training conferences and more, we continue to see believers strengthened in their faith and new disciples being made.

1. Pray for those across the Persian-speaking world who receive SD cards, Bibles and other resources. Pray that they would grow in faith.
2. TWR Canada’s Persian web radio station shares the hope and truth of the gospel with the Persian-speaking world. Praise God for the changed lives we have seen and pray for many more to come to faith.
3. Because women in the Persian-speaking world need their husbands’ permission to travel to conferences, it can be especially difficult for them when their husbands don’t believe in Christ. Pray for the Lord to work in the hearts of these men and for women to receive the hope and encouragement they need.

Digital Ministry

Our digital ministry allows anyone, anywhere, at any time to gain access to a wide range of resources in their heart language.

4. In partnership with the team in Europe, we have released an app for Macedonian speakers containing programming such as Voice of Truth, InTouch and Life of Jesus. Pray for those accessing this content on the app.
5. Pray for those accessing content on TWR Canada’s Android and iOS apps, including the Speak Hope and Discipleship Essentials apps. Pray that these apps would be a beneficial resource to many around the world as they grow in their faith.
6. Many TWR radio stations around the world also stream their broadcasts online. Pray for those listening in this way from all around the globe.
7. The vast majority of Bengali-speaking youth in India have regular access to the internet, and 80 per cent of their internet use involves watching videos. Pray that those watching TWR India’s videos discover hope in Christ.
8. Through our partnership with the Metropolitan Bible Church in Ottawa, we are distributing their weekly audio program, Encounter the Truth on TWR360. Pray that many will use this tool to grow in faith.
9. Praise God that Discipleship Essentials is now available online in Hausa and Indonesian! Pray for all those who will access these materials.
10. With digital technology, we have the opportunity to reach people at any time all around the world. Pray for those who discover these digital resources and that they would come to know God through them.
