The Farsi-speaking diaspora
The Iranian diaspora is one of the fastest-growing and most spiritually hungry communities in Western cities. London, Los Angeles, Toronto, Stockholm, and Berlin all have significant Iranian Christian communities — many of whom came to faith after leaving Iran. For these congregants, hearing (or reading) the Gospel in Farsi is not a convenience; it is a matter of comprehension and heart-level connection.
Bible availability in Farsi
The Bible is available in Persian in multiple translations, including the New Millennium Version (NIV Persian), the Today's Persian Version (TPV), and older classical translations. Voco's glossary feature can be configured with Farsi biblical terms and names to improve translation accuracy.
Script and display notes
Farsi is written in a modified Arabic script (Perso-Arabic), reading right-to-left. Voco's attendee reader fully supports RTL text display for Farsi.
Using Voco for Farsi church translation
Many UK and European churches hold dedicated Farsi-language services or integrate Farsi translation into their main Sunday service. Voco's auto-reconnect and backfill features mean that even with the WiFi challenges of older church buildings, Farsi-speaking visitors don't lose the thread of the sermon.
