Pastor Still Facing Death Sentence

Iran
the Middle East

September 14, 2011

UPDATE: The supreme court of IRAN has returned a pastor’s case to the lower court that sentenced him to death. If that court decides that the pastor was a Muslim before he became a Christian and if he does not “repent,” then the death sentence for apostasy still stands. Also, his defense lawyer has been sentenced to nine years in jail.

Pray that the charges against both men will be dropped. “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.”
