Eid al Fitr celebrations restricted as COVID-19 cases surge
Iran (MNN) It’s an important week for the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims. Whenever the new moon appears – either tonight or tomorrow night, depending on geographic location – it marks the end of Ramadan.
“The very last day of Ramadan is called Eid al Fitr, which people celebrate by breaking the fast,”
Heart4Iran’s Mike Ansari says.
Stay-at-home orders provide the perfect opportunity to encounter Christ.
“Please join us in praying on May 13 when we broadcast a live worship and prayer time,” Ansari requests.
“We are providing a live Farsi worship program into the country of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan to celebrate God’s goodness in the name of Jesus.” This year, the live Farsi prayer event is simultaneously broadcasted on Mohabat TV and Alhayat TV, targeting the Persian and Arab nations.

Iran’s latest attempts to stop Christian television from broadcasting into the country have failed.
Heart-4-Iran’s Mike Ansari says the group changed its video feed onto a different satellite, which has yielded additional benefits.
Mission Network News reports, the Iranian government has been blocking calls to the station as well as jamming its signal but the recent changes have thwarted the move.
Mr Ansari says the Christian broadcasts are now on the same transponder signal as some of the most popular satellite channels in Iran, meaning the organisation now reaches an even larger audience with the hope of Christ.
