Free Saeed
On Wednesdays we encourage people to advocate for the release of Saeed Abedini.
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.
We will continue to do so until he is released.
I’ve posted the reminder above every Wednesday for quite some time.
For the last few weeks it has been difficult to do so.
To be blunt, I no longer believe the narrative that has been presented to the public about this situation.
I don’t know what to believe.
What I do know is that an American is in an Iranian prison, supposedly for the sake of the Gospel.
I do know that I made a commitment to keep this mans plight in front of people until he’s released.
I will honor that commitment without forgetting or ignoring the questions we all have.
Thanks for your honesty here Michael…..
I too have questions….
However, I continue to pray for God’s will, God’s best and God’s glory for Saeed, Naghmeh and the kids…and frankly, for The Gospel.
AGREED…

Lately I have been dealing with the damage of lies on many fronts.
I think Saeed will likely serve his full term and may suffer the agony of additional years and/or death. Sadly, many believers have abandoned him because he stands accused by his greatest advocate.
We have been brought into this and are left to defend what we cannot defend, advocate what we cannot justify, cry out for justice where we do not know what true justice is.
Thank you for being steadfast… maybe our conflicted and confused advocacy will have unexpected and unforeseen benefits.
“We have been brought into this and are left to defend what we cannot defend, advocate what we cannot justify, cry out for justice where we do not know what true justice is.”
Just wanted to amen that sentence. I appreciate you guys, and what you do.
BD,
That was very well said and I’ll probably quote it a lot from here on out.
We should also keep in mind that we have never heard Saeed’s side of the story. All we know of the “truth”, both at the beginning, and now, came from the one who is still his greatest human advocate- his wife.
prayer continues… we must pray for each other in these times; God expects us to do so – He’s capable of the decision making, eh?
