 "When asked to ³repent² by the judges, Youcef stated, ³Repent means to return. What should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?² The judges replied , ³To the religion of your ancestors, Islam.² To which he replied, ³I cannot.²"

"Technically, there is no right of appeal, and under Iran¹s interpretation of Hadith and Sharia law, Pastor Youcef is to be given three chances to recant. He has already been asked to recant twice, and will be asked to do so again Tuesday. If he does not recant his Christian faith, he could be executed at any time."

 This is sad beyond words!  Unless Pastor Nadarkhani renounces his faith in  Christ, he is scheduled to die at any time.

Dear Lord Jesus, hear our prayer for the life of  Pastor Nadarkhani.  He is Your son!

Amen.
