222 MINISTRIES USA INC

In the late 1980s, the founders, Lazarus and Maggie Yeghnazar left Iran with a call to establish Iranian churches throughout the diaspora. In 1991, at a conference in Denmark, scattered Iranian Christians gathered together for a time of fellowship, discipleship and to hear from God. Lazarus and Maggie saw the need to unite the various ministries they were involved with under a common name and vision. After seeking God in prayer, they felt God impress ‘2, 2, 2′ on their hearts. They searched the Bible and found 2 Timothy 2:2 clearly stated the vision of the ministry, '...and the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others' – and so the work was named ‘222 Ministries'. Since then, 222 Ministries has been involved in a wide range of pioneering activities, such as Farsi language Christian programming broadcasting into Iran via satellite TV and Farsi language Christian internet sites, aimed at raising and developing Christian leaders who can influence the nation of Iran at every level of society.
