IRAN: Jailed Pastor's Bible Seized







Date of Bulletin: 23 April 2014







Iranian authorities recently confiscated a Bible and several Christian books from Pastor Behnam Irani, who is serving a five-year sentence on two separate convictions of "crimes against national security." Prisoners are supposed to be allowed religious materials in their cell, regardless of their religion.

The pastor is currently recovering from a February 2014 abdominal surgery. You can write an encouraging letter to Pastor Behnam Irani at www.prisoneralert.com.

Please Pray!



  • Please pray for Pastor Behnam as he recovers from surgery.
  • Pray also for his family; the pastor has a wife and two young children.
  • Pray that the Scripture he has hidden in his heart will be a comfort to him as he serves his sentence.
