An Iranian pastor who has been imprisoned repeatedly for his Christian activities was arrested again on July 24 and charged with “acting against national security.” Youcef Nadarkhani was released from custody after being warned that he has no right to evangelize. When he was arrested in 2009 on charges of apostasy, authorities also sentenced his wife to life imprisonment in an attempt to persuade the pastor to convert back to Islam. Youcef’s wife was subsequently released, but he served nearly three years in prison. He and his wife were also briefly jailed in May of this year. Please pray that Pastor Youcef and his family will remain bold in their faith.
