Youcef Nadarkhani has been executed in Iran. He is the Christian pastor who has been imprisoned and found guilty by the courts in Iran of being a Christian. Now he’s been executed in spite of international appeals to spare his life. He was hanged today.

John15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.


My prayers go out to his family and for them to know he did not die in vain. . I see so much of this in the international news and to know we will face many things before the Lords return, but that we need only to endure until His coming and draw on Gods strength through faith to know we will always have the victory over death.

1Corinthians 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

Thats sad to hear.

Ive been following this story occasionally,and was actually hopeful that eventually he would be released.

Good news...apparently the story that he was hanged is incorrect.

According to ACLJ, Nadarkhani is still alive. Let's keep praying for this man and his family.
