Update on Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Here is the latest update from Voice of the Martyrs on the Iranian pastor imprisoned and facing a death sentence for being Christian:

Youcef Nadarkhani, an Iranian pastor sentenced to death for apostasy, will remain in prison for at least one more year. The presiding judge ordered authorities to keep Youcef in prison, using whatever means necessary to force him to recant his Christian faith and convert to Islam. VOM [Voice of the Martyr] contacts believe the order's intent is to keep Youcef in prison for an extended period so that the international Christian community will forget about him. The Iranian courts may then feel free to carry out the death sentence.

Please continue to advocate on his behalf so authorities will know he is NOT forgotten.

 Continue to pray that God will give him and his family sustaining grace and that his testimony would be a means of salvation to the guards and others around him.
