The Iranian regime is ramping up Christian persecution, and many of our friends are directly in their crosshairs. The sentences being handed down carry severe penalties, from years in prison to the threat of capital punishment. During this time, family members and friends also face public humiliation and threats from every direction.
We ask that you go to prayer for the following list of brothers, as well as many other Christians who are facing persecution in Iran.
