Imprisoned Pastor's Daughter Under Pressure

[156] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for Narine and family.

A young Christian woman is being pressured to leave the country. Her father, a pastor, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for leading a house church. The Iranian government views such Christian fellowships as “enemy groups” and as threats to national security. A front-line worker met with Narine, 20, in another country where she is safe for the time being. “She’s quite stressed and alone,” said the front-line worker. “She’s worried about both her father and her mother because her mother was also arrested and is awaiting sentencing for the same thing as her father — being involved in a home church.” The front-line worker requests prayer for the entire family to sense the Lord’s peace at this time, that they will all stand strong in their faith and be a light to those around them regardless of what happens.
