Increased Persecution of Christians In Iran
We are getting closer to the time frame that the court will issue pastor Youcef Nadarkhani’s written verdict, reportedly, sometime in mid-December. He remains in good health and strong faith. Even though the Iranian regime has attempted to distance themselves from pursuing an apostasy conviction by putting out lies through their government controlled media organization the facts remains clear.

We received news today, however, that Behrouz has been released on bail and is on his way home. He has specifically requested prayer for safety as he travels home. This is a dangerous country and situation as it is, and now the protesting and unrest in Tehran only adds to that danger. Please keep him covered in prayer! We trust that the mighty hand of God will protect him. Also keep the judge in...

This is a common tactic to discourage us, but it gives us more time to pray and to take action on Youcef’s behalf.

I have also learned that brother Behrouz was in solitary confinement for several months in the security prison called “plate 100” in Shiraz. He has now been transferred to a cell with another man...

Here is a list of the prisoners; Rasht: Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani (in prison since October 12, 2009) and his wife Fatemeh Pasandideh Tehran: Fatemeh Kojouri Tork (the wife of Pastor Behrouz), Mehdi Karbalaee Ali and Mina Karbalaee and their mother, Nahid Karbalaee, Afshin Vafadar, Omid Kaleybar, Alireza Seyyedian Shiraz: Pastor...

Behrouz Sadegh-Khandjani pastor of the church in Tehran, Iran was called before a judge today to discuss a “problem with his bail.” However, there was no problem with it, they lied to him, it was a trap and they arrested him. The attorney was with him at the time as well. Please pray for him. Brother Jason
