Crazy Regime

Iranian authorities have arrested and is pressuring 34 year-old Evangelical pastor Youcef Nadarkhani to convert back to Islam.  Youcef converted to Christianity when he was 19.  Converting away from Islam to another faith is considered an act of apostasy punishable by death under Islamic Sharia law, which is followed in Iran and some other Muslim countries.

According to Compass Direct News and other sources, Youcef is being held in solitary confinement and is experiencing various forms of torture.  His outcome is uncertain. Pray!

Shalom and Blessings,

Until He comes, we are
