The Need for Christian Apologetics: Answering the Questions of Seekers with Truth and Respect

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” 1 Peter 3:15

Christian apologetics gives a clear and compelling answer to genuine objections to faith. There is a great need to provide Christian apologetics in the Farsi language, paying attention to the specific questions Iranians who have been raised with a Shia Muslim worldview will have.

Iranians are leaving Islam and are actively pursuing other religions. They are disillusioned and full of questions. Transform Iran’s experienced team of apologists and theologians answer them all.

Answering the Questions Being Asked

Transform Iran’s Porpasokh (=Question & Answer) site draws tens of thousands of visitors each month and engages directly with the questions of seekers. Subjects cover life, meaning, faith, theology, spirituality and philosophy. Our experienced team of apologists and theologians answer them all. For questions with wider interest, answers are published in the form of articles on the website so more can benefit.

To date more than 6,400 answers to key questions have been published on the site and many have come to salvation as a result. The site is also used as a discipleship, personal growth and leadership development too. Believers come for themselves, or to help them in their church leadership and evangelism. Leaders from house churches regularly contact us to thank us for the site. It’s an invaluable resource for them.

Using The Power and Reach of Media

Porpasokh’s website works together with a dedicated social media presence and supporting programs aired on satellite TV that together ensure Iranians with questions on faith are able to find their answers easily.

Rev. Vrezh, the director of this ministry, shares his passion:

I believe that Jesus himself worked in the minds of the people, not just their hearts. He dealt with and uprooted mental strongholds. Then he went in with his powerful love and healed them. Paul the apostle says we have to pull down mindsets that are opposed the gospel, to the knowledge of God. So that is what we do! We educate and set free. We take away those strongholds in people’s minds that would want to exalt themselves above the truth of the gospel, so that we can then go in and see salvation in their lives.

Porpasokh has a vision to see a rooted, growing, strengthened church, in Iran and the Farsi-speaking world, where mindsets and strongholds opposed to the gospel of Christ are dismantled and taken down by the truth of God’s word.

Read how Transform Iran trains apologists for Iran

Iranians are fed up with religion, which has controlled and manipulated them. But Iranians are innately spiritual people and remain hungry for truth. Iran needs trained apologists who understand the journey Iranians are on as they look to leave Islam and seek an alternative.

Testimonies of Transformation

I was searching the Internet, researching and baptism became a critical subject for me. I finally found the Porpasokh site and saw that many believers ask their questions and get answered, and I was encouraged and asked about baptism, and an email came to me introducing me to a pastor who answered my questions and advised me.

Your website has helped us in pastoral work and in evangelism. We refer people to you.

From Questioning to Believing: Arezoo’s Journey of Faith Through Porpasokh Ministry

Arezoo, who came to know Christ through the Porpasokh ministry, shared a powerful testimony. After having her initial questions answered, she was connected to the follow-up team, who continued to disciple and guide her. Through these conversations, Arezoo received the truth, gave her heart to Christ, and eagerly sought more understanding. Soon after, for several nights, her two-year-old nephew suffered from severe reflux. Night after night, he cried in pain, his tiny body growing weaker as his condition worsened. Arezoo’s heart broke seeing him in such agony. In her distress, she prayed fervently, read the Bible, and asked God to heal him. The next morning, a miracle occurred: the child woke up completely healed, eating and playing as usual. His mother was so moved, she burst into tears.

Arezoo’s story reveals a profound truth – sincere faith brings a merciful response from our Heavenly Father. In just a month of knowing Christ through Porpasokh, Arezoo witnessed firsthand that God is alive, hears her prayers, and answers them with love.

The Porpasokh ministry continues to serve as a beacon of hope, providing answers and fostering faith, all while nurturing a growing community of believers in Iran and beyond.
