American Pastor Saeed Abedini, who is serving an eight-year prison term in Iran because of his Christian faith, has been suffering from internal bleeding for months. The injuries, which are causing him frequent fainting spells, are the result of repeated beatings in prison. Sources state that the physical abuse and psychological torture are intensifying...an inhumane and gross violation of Iran's international obligations. These troubling developments are of grave concern to Pastor Saeed's wife, Naghmeh, who lives with their two young children in the United States. Prison officials want one thing: Pastor Saeed to recant his faith in Christ. And while they continue to try, his faith remains strong; a faith that is clearly sustaining him in his time of great need. For more about his story, click here.
Please continue to uphold Pastor Saeed and his very concerned family in prayer. Plead the blood of Jesus over his life, as well as the lives of other believers and human rights defenders there in Evin Prison. May the Lord send His angels to minister ongoing strength and encouragement to them. And in cases such as Pastor Saeed's, where required medical help is not being provided, may the Great Physician personally and supernaturally bring healing to their every wound.
