Pray for Pastor Behnam Irani

[317] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Behnam Irani.

Pastor Behnam Irani and two other members of the "Church of Iran" were spared the death penalty after the charge of "spreading corruption on Earth" was dropped in exchange for new charges that add six years to their prison sentences. Pastor Irani began serving a six-year sentence in May 2011 and is now expected to serve a total of 12 years. He is being moved to a new prison in Zabol, near the Afghanistan border, which will make it difficult for his family to visit. The two other imprisoned Christians, Abdolreza Haghnejad and Reza Rabbani, are being moved to Minab, in the south of Iran.
