An update on Youcef Nadarkhani at VOM

In a recent update Voice of the Martyrs has stated that Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is being held for a year in hopes that western Christians will forget about him. They write:

Iran’s Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, head of the judiciary, has ordered the judge presiding over Youcef Nadarkhani’s case to delay his written verdict for one year. The judge was specifically ordered to keep Nadarkhani in prison, using whatever means necessary to force him to recant his Christian faith and convert to Islam.

According to Present Truth Ministries, the order was designed to cause the international community, specifically Christians, to forget about Nadarkhani’s case.

 The article is “Iran: Nadarkhani Update.” The western world needs to be made aware of the pastor’s plight and prayer maintained that the comfort and strength of the Lord will be with him.
