Youcef Nadarkhani

For the first time in over two decades a judicial execution of an Iranian Christian charged with apostasy may take place in the imminent future...

Unless a miracle of God occurs or...

Someone intervenes. This is where common everyday people, like you and I, come in. Much can be accomplished in numbers. Much can also be accomplished by pressuring international political leaders. To hear the complete story of Youcef Nadarkhani click here.

Do anything. To help at this point can be done in the simplest of ways. I will start with the easiest thing and move on from there:

1. Pray




2. Write a short, 2-sentence e-mail to Iranian authorities, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the E.U. (High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton at comm-spp-hrvp-ashton@ec.europa.eu), or the U.N. (inquiries@un.org)




3. Write a little longer e-mail and/or call your United States Senators and Representative, you are their boss




4. Tell your friends and family to do the same




5. If you want to go one step further, you can even write Youcef in prison while there is still time. This encourages persecuted Christians greatly and it sends a message to their captors.

If you are writing a government official. Here are some very good pointers to keep in mind courtesy of The Voice of the Martyrs:

• Write a short, clear message.



• Be Polite. Remember you are representing Jesus Christ.



• State your general concern for persecuted believers.



• Do NOT write about politics or the government.

Time is short. Inundate! As God leads.

Godspeed!

and destroy her king and officials,”
declares the LORD.

“Yet I will restore the fortunes of Elam
in days to come,”
declares the LORD.
