Silent Stories: Not Forgotten

Silent Stories is my monthly blog post giving voice to the persecuted Christians in our world today.

Pastor Saeed Abedini, Iran

Nearly a month ago, American Pastor Saeed Abedini was unjustly sentenced to eight years in one of Iran's deadliest prisons. I told his silent story in my January post. Sadly, efforts to free Pastor Saeed have been unsuccessful thus far.

The American Center for Law and Justice announced last week that Pastor Saeed's case is heading to the United Nations. Read the latest and continue to pray for his release.

Voice of the Martyrs reported on Facebook and Twitter that a pastor in Tanzania was killed by a violent mob last Monday, February 11. Please lift up his family and the church in prayer as they grieve his loss, and pray for all believers in Tanzania.
