The appeals for four Iranian Christians have all been denied in Iranian courts. The believers you see here will remain in prison for a combined total of 70 years, reports .
Their “crimes”? Praying together. Performing baptisms. Celebrating communion. Gathering in house churches.
Today, pray by name for Nasser Navard Gol-Tappeh, Joseph and Lida Shahbazian, and Aida Najaflou (pictured l-r).
In Iran, following Jesus can cost you everything. But the church presses on. Join us in praying for imprisoned believers in Iran today.
🙏 Pray for God's strength, protection and presence in their cells.
🙏 For believers still facing trial—that the Holy Spirit will give them words to speak.
🙏 For healing and proper medical care for those suffering in detention.
🙏 For the families holding on—that they are still steadfast and encouraged.
🙏 For justice, and for the release of every person imprisoned for following Jesus.
🙏 For all imprisoned Christians in Iran, that God will strengthen and protect them.
