Salvation and Ministry Behind Prison Bars

[86] prayers in [6] 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.

  • Father I pray, "And in no way be alarmed or intimidated in anything by your opponents, for such constancy and fearlessness on your part is a clear sign a proof and a seal for them (opponents) of their impending destruction, but a clear sign for you of deliverance and salvation, and that too, from God "(Philippians 1:28).

  • Father, we choose to remember (by praying for) prisoners as if chained with them, since we are also in the body (Heb. 13:3). We pray for those who are being persecuted for righteousness sake. We call them blessed and declare that no one will be able to harm them because they are followers of what is good. We pray they will not afraid (1 Peter 3:13-17).
