Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani faces execution for his faith
Please spare a few moments in prayer for Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani who is facing execution at any moment
Iranian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani faces execution at any moment for refusing to renounce his faith in Christ
 Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani never practiced the Muslim faith and converted to Christianity at age 19, becoming a pastor later. But the courts say that since his mother and father were practicing Muslims, he must recant his Christian faith or die. So far, in three court appearances, he has refused to do so - RISKING EXECUTION AT ANY MOMENT. The Iranian Supreme Court often acts quickly in administering the death penalty
According to a report, when asked by judges to "repent," Yousef replied: "Repent, What should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?"
The judges replied: "To the religion of your ancestors - Islam." To which Yousef replied: "I cannot"
It's time for the body of Christ to act, to pray, to plead for the life of our Brother before Christ so that His servant may be spared. This is what you are asked/called to do. As soon as you read this, PRAY IMMEDIATELY. Then call your pastor, your deacons and the people of your Church so that they may all pray too. Then forward this PRAYER REQUEST to every CHRISTIAN you know so that they may pray also
