Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was recently sentenced to death by the Iranian government for refusing to recant his Christian belief. He has been in prison for two years now for his faith and outspokenness against Islam. Pastor Youcef was born a Muslim but converted to Christianity at the age of 19. The global community, including the United States, has raised their objections and concerns towards Iran for this sentence. The video below is of Fox News discussing the background of the case as well as the response from different countries and leaders around the world. Please pray for Pastor Youcef, his wife, and two children as they face this death sentence. Also pray that Iran may have a change in heart. Finally, whatever the outcome of this case, pray that God's love and glory is proclaimed and His kingdom is furthered throughout the Earth.
