Free Saeed
On Wednesdays we remember that a brother languishes in a foreign prison.
We do more than just remember, however…we stand with him by using our social media to advocate for his release.
We ask that you change your Facebook profile picture to his and that you “like”  the “Free Saeed” Facebook page and participate in some of the activities that promote his cause.
We ask…that you remember him and his family in prayer…and that you refuse to give up on efforts to secure his release.
 On the heels of yesterdays news that Pastor Saeed Abedini has been taken from the hospital and beaten back in prison, Nahgmah Abedini posted this;
“I have to be completely honest with you all and ask for your prayers and your help. For the first time in two years, I feel so very tired and not sure of next steps. I can not stop the tears from falling. I feel like a wounded soldier who needs time to rest. I need you all to carry me and my family in prayer and to continue to voice your concern. Today I feel there is no breath left in me. Praying and worshipping through it, but I have to admit today is so very difficult. Each minute feels like an hour. Praising Him through my tears. Need you all to hold my hands up like Moses in battle. Feeling so very week..”
Lets be honest…some us us…myself included…have grown weary in this well doing.
We have prayed and advocated and hoped and prayed some more…seemingly to no avail.
Our efforts have been largely ignored by the politicians in government and the church.
It’s utterly unbelievable to me that the website for Calvary Chapel makes no mention this morning of his plight.
We can’t quit.
I know we’re exhausted emotionally and spiritually, but what is the worth of one brothers life?
What can we do?
What will you do?
“It’s utterly unbelievable to me that the website for Calvary Chapel makes no mention this morning of his plight.”
Not really. Calvary Chapel as a whole had no problem ignoring child torture in their own ranks…so I guess it’s being consistent to not make a big deal of Saeed’s torture and beatings.
On going prayers and grief in my heart…..though many wonderings about the mysterious will of God….and the spreading of the Gospel…..
Just looked a the news and saw that those youths arrested & jailed for doing the “Happy” video in Iran were freed already after one night. WTH. Lord have mercy.
Watching this….. at about minute 21, he comments about giving our lives for Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0A6zyN37uw
joining you Paige in your prayers for Saeed
I am not known for my prayer life, Jeffersonian infidel that I am. But Saeed’s plight brings me to my knees in petition to the Almighty, that Providence might do her work in his favor.
This case is a travesty. The current US administration talks al lot about helping Americans; however, if you are a Christian or a US Solder in a Mexican jail, you can expect nothing.
We are praying every day for Saeed and his family.
Hi All,
Writing letters to Saeed in prison is a great way to let the Iranian government know that there are many who are concerned about him and it helps keep him alive and treated better at the prison. Here is the address to Rajaei Shahr prison. Please join me in writing letters to him. It should cost $1.10 for postage. You can share scripture and about Jesus as long as you are not attacking Islam or the Iranian government.

Zendane Rajaee Shahr

God Bless
