Please Pray for Pastor Youcef of Iran

I just posted yesterday that Iran is the the country where Evangelical Christianity currently has the highest rate of growth in the world. Unfortunately, it is also one of the worst countries in the world for Christian persecution, which is what makes the growth rate that much more amazing. Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is currently facing execution for his faith. He was arrested two years ago because he wanted his son to receive Christian education rather than having to study the Koran. He has been offered the opportunity to recant his faith but refuses to deny Christ. Please ask that the Lord would grant him strength to continue to stand, that his life would be mercifully spared, that his family would be comforted, and that the name of Christ would be glorified in Iran and around the world through Pastor Youcef's bold witness. He is one of many whose lives shout out to the world, "JESUS IS WORTH IT!!"
