SUNDAY APP

For new beginnings

SUNDAY APP IN FARSI (PERSIAN) SPEAKERS IN EUROPE

Are you a Christian in Europe who is in touch with Iranian or Afghan refugees? Would you like to be able to offer them valuable content and personal contact in their mother tongue? 

The SUNDAY app in Farsi reaches out to Iranian and Afghan refugees and migrants who are relatively new in the country of arrival or are interested in knowing more about life in Europe, the Bible and Christianity. This app is part of the SUNDAY project, which offers separate apps in different languages. Right now, the Farsi app is the first one. In the SUNDAY app, refugees and migrants find information about society and culture in the European country where they are. What is more, they can discover answers to religious questions they may be struggling with and find out more about the Christian faith and what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

What is in the app?

Besides audio and video, there are texts and links. Over the years, a great deal of this material has been developed by organizations with extensive experience in reaching out to Iranians and Afghans. All is done in a way that is respectful towards other faiths and beliefs. There are links to basic discipleship materials and app users can ask their own questions and get in touch with a network of Farsi speaking believers – in their own native language and in the country where they now live, with a focus on the Nordic countries and the Netherlands.

Who we are

The SUNDAY project is made possible by an alliance of 6 Christian non-profit organizations across Northern Europe and Canada: Norea Norway, Norea Sweden, Norea Denmark, Sansa (Finland), TWR Netherlands & Belgium, TWR Canada.

For you to share

This English webpage is for you, if you are in contact with Persian / Farsi / Dari speaking refugees and migrants, so you can learn more about the SUNDAY Farsi app’s content. This way, you know what they will find in the app. We hope that you will recommend the SUNDAY app to them. It is for free. Be blessed in your friendships! 

PS… What is on this website in Farsi?

The webpage in Farsi explains to Iranians and Afghans what the app is about. They are invited to download the app. They can also find contact details for Farsi-speaking believers in their current country of residence, should they wish to receive follow-up in their own language.

IN MORE DETAIL: WHAT IS ON THE APP?

First: Why ‘SUNDAY’?

The app is called Sunday because in Europe this is a day of rest and new beginnings. The day for a new start. Sunday, the day after the sabbath, is the day where the Bible tells us that Jesus rose from the dead and made it possible for us to have a new life where death has lost its power. In the western world Sunday is a day of rest and through this app we hope that the seeker will find rest and peace in the European country where he or she lives now. 

 

The app consists of 4 channels, each with a particular approach:

My everyday needs

Starting a new life in a new country brings a lot of cultural and other challenges. Everyday life can suddenly be difficult. This channel will help refugees and migrants to navigate some of the challenges and try to explain how and why things are done the way they are. 

 Looking for a new day

Leaving what we know and coming to a new place may also raise questions about what we believe and what others believe. This channel contains answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about God’s Word in the Bible and about Christian belief. 

My first day with Jesus

Most people know about Jesus Christ, and many have a positive view of him. This channel shares about who He is, what He taught and what He said about himself. It also helps to understand what it means to believe in Him. 

My everyday with Jesus  

Faith in Jesus is the beginning of a whole new life. He wants to be our Savior, but He also wants to be the Lord of our lives. This channel offers materials that help to understand what it means to follow Jesus. Among Christians, this is known as ‘discipleship’.
