What is LIFTED?
Lifted is an online event where youth and young adults from around the world come together to be inspired by courageous believers from Iran’s growing church – and discover how they can live in the freedom and fullness of life Christ has given them.
In Iran, young Christians are risking everything to follow Jesus. Their courage is personal, powerful, and real. Lifted is a call to this generation to live boldly and be a shining example of Jesus wherever they are and whatever they do.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join in with your youth groups, friends, and family to experience Lifted together.
Through worship, stories, and real-time discussion, you’ll hear from believers about the incredible ways Christ is moving in Iran, how He is drawing people to Himself and lifting them out of darkness.
Lifted is hosted by Elam Ministries – a Christian charity that exists to strengthen and expand the church in the Iran region and beyond.
“He lifted me out of the pit of despair... Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord."
Psalm 40:2-3
