Iranian Pastor Narrowly Escapes Martyrdom

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

– 1 Peter 3:17

Last year, we brought you the story of Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, asking you to pray for safe release from an Iranian prison. Pastor Youcef had been charged with apostasy for converting to Christianity and was facing a death sentence. After three years in prison, Youcef is a free man. The international pressure that was levied on Iran and the prayers of millions of concerned Christians brought about a change of heart in the Iranian leadership.

Watch this news clip about Pastor Youcef’s release as well as the state of Christianity in the Middle East.
