Mehdi Karbalaee Sentenced To Five Years In Prison

Today, we learned that Mehdi Karbalaee a minister from Tehran, Iran was sentenced to five years in prison for being a member of a Jesus-only church (a false mis-representation) and leading Muslims to faith in Christ. He has ten days to appeal his sentence and after that he has a time period, yet to be determined, before he will be required to report to prison. He has fled the country and we ask that you pray the Lord go before him and give him strength.
