pastor-saeed-abediniJoin with Real Life Church. The Obama Administration has reached a nuclear deal with Iran, leaving American Pastor Saeed behind to suffer beatings, torment, and excruciating pain in one of the world’s worst prisons because he is a Christian. But Congress has a voice. Join us in demanding Congress reject the deal and bring Pastor Saeed home. Time is of the essence. Pastor Saeed needs your voice now.

  • Saeed Abedini, a 34-year-old Pastor, father, and husband from Idaho, is currently imprisoned in Rajaei Shahr prison (formerly imprisoned in Evin prison in Tehran, Iran). On 28 July 2012, during a visit to Tehran to visit family and to finalize the board members for an orphanage he was building in Iran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard detained Saeed, asserting that he must face criminal charges for his Christian faith. After intense interrogations, Saeed was placed under house arrest and told to wait for a court summons. On 26 September 2012, instead of receiving a summons telling him where to appear, five members of the Revolutionary Guard raided Saeed’s parents’ home in Tehran, confiscated many of Saeed’s belongings, and took him to an unknown location. After four days the Revolutionary Guard informed the family that Saeed was in solitary confinement in the notorious Evin Prison.
  • Throughout Saeed’s imprisonment, he has spent several weeks in solitary confinement. During solitary confinement, Saeed prisonwas only brought out of his small cell to be subjected to abusive interrogations. Saeed has been allowed visitation by his family in Tehran, but he has been cut off from his wife and two young children in the U.S.
  • Saeed had been denied medical treatment for infections that resulted from beatings. While in Evin, the ward doctor and nurse refused to treat him because, as a Christian, he was considered “unclean” and an infidel.
  • In early 2013, it became known that Saeed was suffering from internal injuries and doctors determined that his injuries warranted immediate attention, and, in their medical opinion, he needed to be treated in a non-prison hospital. For almost a year, the Iranian regime ignored this advice. In March 2014, Saeed was permitted to enter a private hospital for treatment, but after spending almost two months in the hospital, he was returned to prison without having been given surgeries deemed necessary by hospital doctors.
  • You can help!  Write to Pastor Abedini today.  Have your children send him drawings and encouraging Scripture.  (Do not write anything political please.)  Pray for him.  Pray for his captors.  Pray for the Islamic Government of Iran to fall.  Pray for a massive revival in Iran!  Pray for an Acts 16 experience in the Iranian prison.
