Bible Society hopes to return to Iran 'soon'

Nahid Sepehri (www.iranianbiblesociety.org)

An Iranian Bible Society worker says she hopes to return to Tehran to resume the organisation's work there - decades after it was banned.

"My prayer is to see the freedom of my country... I will be among the very first people who will go back to rebuild," says Nahid Sepehri, who leads the Iranian Bible Society from abroad.

She continues: "Our office in Tehran is still there after 35 years. By God’s grace, soon, we will reopen Iran’s Bible Society." Sepehri was speaking as the conflict between Iran, the US and Israel continued to escalate.
