Prisoner Alert: Write Vahik Abrahamian

Last week we highlighted prisoner Ms Li Ying and asked you to write a letter to encourage her.  We started at 10901 letters written and as of today we show that 10909 encouraging letters have been written to Ms Li Ying.  We are grateful for the 8 new letters that were sent to Ms Li Ying in the last week, because 8 is definitely better than zero!   Praise God for your faithfulness to encourage the prisoners!  I believe that every letter these dear prisoners receive, will encourage them in their faith. Thank you to those who have taken the time to write.

This week I would like to highlight Vahik Abrahamian  who has been in prison since September 2010. 

Here's more from our Prisoner Alert about what Vahik has been going through.

For the first 40 days, they were held in solitary confinement and reportedly suffered physical abuse and psychological pressure.

The four have been accused of various offenses, including propagating Christianity, opposing the Islamic Republic of Iran, and having contact with exiled opposition figures. They have not yet been charged.

Over six months have passed since the two men and two women were arrested. They are under pressure and intense interrogation, according to Mohabat News. They were transferred from Hamadan prison to Iran’s notorious Evin prison in Tehran.

Their families are concerned for their health, but have not been able to find news of their loved ones. They are also worried about the children of the believers.

Pastor Vahik was arrested once before, on Feb. 20, 2010, on charges of conducting activities among Muslims. He spent two months in prison before being released on bail. Pastor Vahik has dual citizenship in Iran and the Netherlands, but because of his passion for the Iranian people, he chose to live in Iran.

I'd like to challenge you all to take five minutes today to write our brother in the Lord.  Please click here and write today.
