Our friend Morad* is currently serving a prison sentence in Iran for his Christian faith and ministry. Morad has endured great suffering for his faith, and yet as people have upheld him in prayer, he has been able to cling onto hope and even joy in Jesus. On a recent secure call, Morad very movingly shared the following reflection with us:

"Maybe these walls are a prison—
But I am free, because Jesus has set me free.”

Stories like Morad's stir us to act. That’s why we’ve launched a dedicated prayer page—to help believers around the world intercede for those imprisoned for their faith in Iran.

Visit the Prayer Page – Pray for the Persecuted

Believers like Morad testify that your prayers strengthen and sustain them. Thank you for faithfully interceding for them.

As you pray, please also lift up:

• The families and loved ones of those imprisoned

• Other persecuted religious minorities such as Baháʼís, Jews, Sunni Muslims

• Iran’s leaders—that they would repent and allow true freedom of religion
