As the months continue to pile up for Pastor Saeed Abedini’s Iranian imprisonment, his wife Nahgmeh Abedini is adding urgency to her call for prayer.
On Sept. 26—the 3-year anniversary of Pastor Saeed’s imprisonment for his faith in Jesus Christ—she’s asking Christians around the world to take part in a prayer vigil at noon (in the local time zone) for her husband and other persecuted Christians around the globe.
And leading up to the Sept. 26 vigil, Naghmeh has decided to pray and fast for 21 days.
“I will be fasting from pleasant food (Daniel 10:3 I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled),” Naghmeh posted on her Facebook page.
“I plan to abstain from coffee and chocolate. You are free to abstain from food, social media, TV or skip a meal or two … the point is to spend that time in prayer.”
Naghmeh will also be in New York from Sept. 28-Oct. 1 and has requested a meeting with the Iranian president, who will be there at the same time.
She’s praying for the meeting to happen, “not only to advocate for Saeed, but also give them a chance to hear the Gospel message. Please pray for open doors while I am there.”
Franklin Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is again lending its voice to support both the release of Pastor Saeed as well as other Christians who are imprisoned for their faith in Christ.
Last year, in the shadow of the White House, Franklin Graham helped launch the worldwide prayer vigil: “I want us to pray today that God will intervene and bring this faithful servant—who has been tortured for his faith—to bring him home,”
More than 600 prayer vigils in 33 countries were held last year. A similar outpouring this year has seen more than 500 prayer vigils registered from 29 countries, including every state in America.
