Pray for those who are in prison

Youcef Nardarkhani is in prison and awaiting a decision as to whether he will receive the death penalty.  According to the prisoner profile @ Prison Alert  the authorities have used a variety of methods to convert him back to Islam.  Nardarkhani protested a government policy that his children be taught the Quran in school and said that the Iranian constitution allows for freedom of religion.
 Pray for Pastor Nardarkhani, his family and others who are persecuted for their faith in Christ Jesus.  Also consider taking the time to write a letter to those who are imprisoned.  VOM makes this easy, you can write a letter to those imprisoned, translating it into their own language by using a drop down menu on the Prisoner Alert    page on their site.
