UK Mission Partners

Rev Bassi Mirzania

Anglican Chaplain to the Persian Community in the UK

Bassi’s ministry is to assist Churches throughout the UK in the development of their ministry amongst Persians/Iranians and to advise and support church leaders and lay people in responding to those enquiring about the Christian faith. She provides guidance to churches in welcoming Farsi speaking people into their congregation, helping with the inter-cultural aspect, and visits those churches throughout the UK with Farsi speaking groups. As well as being involved locally in the monthly Persian Fellowship at St Luke’s Church, London, the weekly Farsi group at Christ Church, Guildford Bassi frequently is asked to speak across the UK and give help and advice to clergy and Farsi speaking converts seeking asylum in Britain. This ministry needs your ongoing prayers and support, and depends on voluntary gifts.
