Elam was founded in 1990 by senior Iranian church leaders with a vision to serve the growing church in the Iran region. Elam's vision is that all the people of the Iran region would have the opportunity to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ and follow Him as a disciple, and that Iranians would be instrumental in taking the Gospel to other Muslims. To achieve this vision, they train leaders for fruitful, effective ministry in the Iran region, equip the Iranian church with Bibles and resources for evangelism and discipleship, and send the Gospel into the Iran region through trained evangelists, church planters, and Christian media.
