Support for Pastor Saeed Abedini

6/13/2013

There is a new groundswell of grassroots support around the world for Pastor Saeed.

Last week we brought his case before the United Nations.

Today, people from all walks of life and all parts of the globe are gathering to pray and peacefully assemble in front of Iranian embassies, consulates, and protectorates around the world.

Here in Washington, D.C., people will be gathering at noon at the Iranian Interests Section to peacefully assemble and highlight Pastor Saeed's deplorable plight.

At the same time, similar events are planned in front of Iran's embassies in Hungary, Egypt, Sweden, Germany, and other nations.

Learn more about the effort to highlight Iran's abuse of human rights and Pastor Saeed's case directly to Iranian officials.

We urge you to join this effort, assemble, pray, and tweet with the hashtag #SaveSaeed.

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.
