Salvation and Ministry Behind Prison Bars

[139] prayers in [8] nations have been posted for Iranian Converts.

Nasser, a political prisoner in Iran, tried to commit suicide while imprisoned. A Christian inmate witnessed the attempt and prevented Nasser’s death. The Christian then shared the gospel with Nasser, and he came to faith in Christ. Nasser now meets with imprisoned Christians for times of secret prayer and worship. Another prisoner named Darius, a Muslim, reported a desire to know more about Christ after experiencing him in a dream. Darius is now in contact with Christians who are helping him learn more about the gospel.

    I thank thee for the witness of brothers even in times of persecution and affliction where they know through thy spirit that other prisoners may be in a place of repentance of sin to receive thy word.
