PRAY FOR THIS MAN!

Take the "drug trafficking" charges with a big grain of salt, folks.

August 8 (Compass Direct News) – Seven years after Issa Motamedi Mojdehi converted from Islam to Christianity, Iranian secret police have jailed him for abandoning Islam but officially charged him with illegal drug trafficking.

Authorities formally charged the 31-year-old Christian with drug trafficking when he was arrested two weeks ago. But Savama (secret police) officials have told Motamedi Mojdehi that his real offense, said to be recorded in his confidential legal file, is abandoning Islam. Unless he renounces his Christian faith and returns to Islam, officials told him, he will remain in jail and possibly face execution.

Issa has a wife, 8 year old daughter, and an infant son. Pray for them too. May God bring to justice all of the regimes that hurt His Church!
