URGENT
PRAYER NEEDED for cancellation of execution for
Pastor Youcef in IRAN
This
prayer chain is calling ALL Christians into
action NOW on behalf of this Iranian pastor, who
faces execution!
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,"
Youcef 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 receive this email, PRAY IMMEDIATELY.
Forward
to your
church so that its members may all pray too.
Then forward this PRAYER REQUEST to every
CHRISTIAN you know so that they may pray
also. The Bible states, "If God is
with us, who can stand against us."
