November 5, 2008 - Persian Christians from throughout Europe gathered for a Thirsty conference with Sammy Tippit during the last few days. Tippit spoke to the gathering about the necessity of a move of God’s Spirit in the hearts of followers of Jesus. He shared his story with those present, and many responded to his message with hearts that were passionately seeking God.
Attendees came from various countries in Western Europe, including Germany, Norway, Netherlands, France, and Great Britain and even some from the United States. Many shared testimonies of God’s work in their lives. One woman trusted Christ to be her Lord and Savior during the meetings. Others said that God had given them a fresh vision of their need to seek God.
The messages that Tippit brought will be aired in a couple of months to believers throughout Europe and the Middle East. Several people asked when the messages would be on television because they wanted to share the series with friends in the Middle East.
Tippit has ministered to Persians for the past ten years. During that time, STM has developed a website, produced books, held conferences and broadcast television programs for Persian believers. God is moving in the Persian world in an incredible manner. Reports have come from the Persian world about many Persians who have had dreams or seen visions of Jesus and consequently have become followers of Jesus.
Tippit said, “There is a great work of God’s Spirit among the Persian people. We must pray for them and do everything we can to assist in the discipleship of these new believers. It is a very encouraging thing to see what is happening among Persians around the world.”
