Pastor Saeed Abedini Given Ultimatum: ‘Deny Christ or Face Longer Prison Time’ Iranian authorities have posed U.S. Pastor Saeed Abedini with an ultimatum to deny Christ, or spend more time in prison. ”Deny your faith in Jesus Christ and return to Islam or else you will not be released from prison. We will make sure you are kept here even after your 8 year sentence is finished,” the authorities said, according to a letter by Abedini that was recently obtained by the American Center for Law and Justice. The pastor, who was sentenced to eight years in January in what the law group says was a “sham trial” that targeted him for his Christian faith, had earlier shared of some of the abuse he faced in prison in a letter to his wife, Naghmeh Abedini, and their two children. He has stated that he will not abandon Christ in the face of such persecution. But the newly released letter reveals the specific threats the authorities have made against him in Evin Prison in Tehran. read more: global.christianpost.com/news/pastor-saeed-abedini-given-ultimatum-deny-christ-or-face-longer-prison-time-93736/

Keep up the good fight, Pastor Saeed!!!
I've been praying for him ever since I heard about his troubles with the Iranian government.
With this latest development looks like I'll be praying ever more for him.
