Organizing to Pray for Pastor Saeed

8/19/2013

This week Pastor Saeed was able to speak from his prison cell with family in Iran.

Unfortunately, they learned that Pastor Saeed's abdominal injuries – sustained from intense beatings – are once again causing him excruciating pain. The pain was so great that he fainted on one occasion.

He continues to take medicine prescribed by Iranian authorities, but he must be returned home to doctors in the U.S. – to his family.

It is more critical now than ever that we take action.

On September 26th – the one-year anniversary of his imprisonment – Pastor Saeed's wife is organizing prayer vigils for him in nearly 50 cities all across America and in dozens more around the globe.

Nearly every state in America is already represented, and new events are being added every day.

Please pray, attend a vigil, and urge your friends to participate. Pastor Saeed needs our support.

HOW TO READ A PERSECUTION NEWS STORY

Trials make the promise sweet;
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to His feet,
Lay me low, and keep me there.

"God often takes away our comforts and our privileges in order to make us better Christians. He trains His soldiers not in tents of ease and luxury, but by turning them out and subjecting them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many long miles with heavy backpacks of sorrow. Well, Christian, may this not account for the troubles through which you are passing? Is the Lord bringing out your graces and making them grow? Is it for this reason He contends with you?"

Christian persecution is just a phenomenon in the
Middle East.

Christians aren’t greatly
impacted by persecution.

Whatever persecution there is, the damage is superficial - more a loss of multicultural diversity than anything else.

Christians supposedly bring persecution upon themselves by proselytizing.

Persecution couldn’t
happen here.
