Please Write Pastor Saeed

4/15/2013

The response has been overwhelming. Please write Pastor Saeed, if you haven't already. Our prayers continue for Saeed Abedini

Take Action

Anne,

Your response to our call for letters to Pastor Saeed, the U.S. citizen held hostage in Iran, has been overwhelming.

No, it's been historic.

More than 20,000 people have taken the time to write a letter to Pastor Saeed, offering encouragement and hope to a young husband and father in chains for the Gospel.

This number makes our campaign one of the largest in history, but we can do more. Our goal is to flood Evin Prison with messages of hope and encouragement, so that Pastor Saeed knows we're working for him and – critically – his Iranian captors know he hasn't been forgotten.

If you haven't written Pastor Saeed, just take a few moments. Your impact will make a difference. You write the letter, and we'll deliver it:

Write Pastor Saeed Today.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial;

that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

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.
