Prayer Requests

Pastor Youcef Nardakhani:

Christian Pastor Y. Nardakhani who refused to renounce his faith & has spent nearly 3 years in Iranian prison on death row was released. On Sept. 8, 2012, the courts ruled that he be released based on time already served.

Praise God for answered prayers! We ask that everyone continue to pray for his safety and that of his family members, as they plan their next steps. We also asked that you please continue to be in prayer for other prisoners of conscience.
