This is truly great news. Many, many have been working and praying for years to get Pastor Farshid out of Iran and back to his wife and 2 daughters. Pastor Farshid was one of those abandoned by Obama & Co when it came to the nuclear agreement with Iran. Praise God and welcome home, Pastor.
"An Iranian pastor serving a seven year sentence was released Monday after more than five years inside one of the country’s most brutal prisons, a church working to secure his freedom announced on its website.
“We are overjoyed and celebrating!” Elam church’s Executive Director David Yeghnazar said in a statement. “Farshid Fathi has been released today after five years in prison for his faith.”
“We are deeply grateful for your faithful prayers for Farshid while he has been in prison,” he continued. “We would like to request that you continue praying for Farshid today and in the coming weeks. Please pray especially for protection, his family and his adjustment to life outside prison.”
Yeghnazar said he would “share more information when possible.”
