DEVELOPING: We are as shocked by the recent statements made by Pastor Saeed Abedini's wife as many of you. For years we've asked you to pray that the Iranian government would release Saeed, who is imprisoned for his faith. We continue to pray for him. But as Christian journalists, we are also obligated to report the whole truth. Unfortunately,there are times when we can only go to one source for clarity and direction -- God! Today several of our team members gathered to pray for Pastor Abedini, his wife and their children. May the Lord bring them all comfort in this trying season. As the story develops, we will continue to update you, but more importantly, we ask that you join us in honoring his wife's wishes that we continue to pray for Pastor Saeed.
"I will continue to pray for my husband's release and advocate for him as he suffers in an Iranian prison for his Christian faith. I would also ask others to join me in continuing to pray for his release," Naghmeh said in her statement to CBN News.
