Abide | Hebrews 13:3 | The Persecuted Church

"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also." {Hebrews 13:3} 

Praying for Asia Noreen, a wife and mother of five imprisoned since June 19th, 2009 for defending Christ in response to an attack by her Muslim co-workers.

Praying for Mostafa, an Iranian Christian jailed since December of 2012 and sentenced to ten years imprisonment for exercising his faith openly.

Praying for Zafar, a believer accused of blasphemy and imprisoned in Pakistan for 406 days so far.

And lastly, praying for their unnamed persecutors who Jesus loves just as much...

Christians, let's remember our brothers and sisters who remain faithful in the most dire of circumstances! Remember: "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." {James 5:16b}
