No doubt many of you have been following the story of Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani—the Christian pastor who could face the death penalty for renouncing Islam. A verdict in Nadarkhani’s case could come as early as today, according to Mission Network News. It has also been reported that his case was referred to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, who “has ultimate authority in the Islamic republic.” Please join us in prayer that Pastor Nadarkhani would be spared the death penalty and released from prison.
