As Thanksgiving Nears Remember The Persecuted & Oppressed

By C. J. Refsland on November 20, 2016 • ( 0 )

As America prepares for Thanksgiving. A time when we thank God for all he has given to us, my mind will be on my Brothers and Sisters in persecution. My Sister Maryam Naghash Zargaran (Nasim), my Brother Ibrahim and their families in Iran. My Sister Asia Bibi in Pakistan in prison awaiting death. My brethren in Thailand, Malaysia, Nigeria, Iraq and Syria. Those will be what I’m thinking of this week. Thanking God for their testimonies of faith. The faith that is increasing in Persecution. I thank Almighty God for the release of Saeed Abedini and Amir Hekmati and Jason Rezaian. I pray for my persecuted Brethren and remember the sorrow and sufferring they face. I pray God Bless them abundantly. I pray for healing for our country, and the children in war zones. For the last few years my table was set with a place for Saeed and the persecuted. Now that Saeed is free, It will hold a place for those still sufferring, this year too. Won’t you join me? Post your pictures and let them know they are in our prayers.
