Iranian Christians International, Inc. (ICI) ministers to the approximately 7 million Iranians and Afghans living outside their countries today. ICI works closely with many mission organizations, university outreach ministries and churches. The ICI ministry is sustained through the prayers, contributions and commitment of those who share this vision.

The primary objectives of ICI are: 1) to reach Iranians and Afghans for Jesus Christ; 2) to nurture, equip and train them in their Christian walk; 3) to train and prepare them to return to their countries as church leaders and to go as cross-cultural missionaries to other unreached peoples; 4) to share the needs and opportunities for ministry among Iranians and Afghans with other Christians and train them in Iranian and Afghan evangelism and discipleship.

To fulfill these objectives, ICI: 1) shares Christ with, disciples and counsels Iranian, Afghan and non-Iranian workers; 2) establishes Persian Bible study groups; 3) publishes and distributes evangelism, discipleship and leadership training literature in Persian, Dari, Pushtu and English; 4) evangelizes, disciples and assists Iranian and Afghan refugees; 5) holds international and regional discipleship and training conferences; 6) publishes Mojdeh Magazine, 7) shares needs with ICI prayer partners; 8) holds Iranian/Afghan awareness seminars and training workshops.

Mojdeh is published by ICI. It is supported by donations of Iranians, Afghans and non-Iranians who share our vision for Iranian and Afghan evangelism, discipleship and training. The donation for one year's subscription is $8.00 for the U.S. (students $5.00) and $11.00 abroad.

Due to the sensitivity of materials, please use discretion in sending Mojdeh to Middle Eastern countries. Do not send it to Iran or Afghanistan. For the protection of nationals and Christian workers, the names of people and places mentioned may have been changed.

Mojdeh has a circulation of 2500 and is distributed in about 30 countries. It is our goal that Mojdeh becomes financially self-supporting. About $8,000 is needed annually for its publication and distribution. We encourage you not only to send your own subscription donation but to also send your gifts to underwrite subscriptions for those who need to receive Mojdeh but are unable to send a donation. Personal checks, money orders and foreign draft payments are welcome in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and British pounds. (Note that one U.S. dollar is equivalent to 0.67 British pounds and 1.28 Canadian dollars.)
