I said it before and I`ll say it again, Christianity is slowly gaining grounds in Iran. The Iranian people are fed up with the oppression that they have been experiencing . They are opening the doors and converting to Christianity. They are learning that Jesus is the one that died for them on the cross and only through Him are they promised a better life of unspeakable joy!
Two Iranian converts whose names are Maryam and Marzieh have been imprisoned because of their Christian faith ever since March of 2009. Just recently (Oct. 7), they were taken to an Iranian court to face 3 charges: 1) Anti-state Activities 2) Propagation of the Christian Faith 3) Apostasy.
Because of many prayers, they were acquitted from the first charge. As it stands now, they will be transferred to a revolutionary court to determined the last two charges. The two are reportedly in ill health, but their faith is as strong as ever. Let`s pray for these prisoner`s in their chains-Colossians 4:18.
