As Americans it is easy to take our religious freedoms for granted. We go to church where we want. We read whatever religious text we choose. We pray to our God - and if your god is not my God you are free to believe in whatever you want. It's just not that way in other parts of the world.
People are being imprisoned for nothing more than the faith they profess. And while imprisoned they are experiencing horrible treatment, failing health, and God only knows what else.
Pray for the persecuted church, in Iran and beyond. We have to pray.
