Adopt a Prisoner
Be a Voice of Hope
Remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison.
— Hebrews 13:3
Many Iranian Christians who have spent time in prison because of their faith or church activities have shared painful stories about what comes after their release. A significant number speak of being abandoned—by friends, relatives, and even fellow Christians and church members.
Interrogators often use fear, insults, and even threats against the prisoners’ families in an effort to break their will and their faith. Sometimes, the weight of all this pressure leads to a loss of hope.
That’s why we invite you—as an individual or church group—to adopt one of these prisoners:
Commit to remembering them in your personal and corporate prayers, stay informed and share updates about their case, and speak out publicly in defence of their rights and freedom of religion. By doing so, you can help carry them through their journey, offering encouragement and reminding them they are not forgotten.
