American citizen Pastor Saeed Abedini, imprisoned in Iran since 2012, has finally been freed. So happy about this news. I shared it here about the torture he went through and how he refused to denounce his faith in Jesus despite it all.
Four people were released including Pst Saeed. It was was part of a prisoner exchange between the United States and Iran.
Formerly a devout Muslim, Pastor Saeed was saved by the Lord Jesus Christ in his Tehran bedroom more than a decade ago. After establishing numerous house churches, he eventually moved to the United States with his wife, Naghmeh.
He later returned to Iran with the government's
permission to build an orphanage. He was initially detained in late
July 2012 while visiting family in Tehran.
Then, on Sept. 26 of that year, members of the Revolutionary Guard raided his parents' home and took Pastor Saeed to an unknown location. Four days later, his family was informed that he was in solitary confinement in the notorious Evin prison.
He had been imprisoned in Iran until his release yesterday.

His wife advocating for his release
*Oh Praise God!!!! God sure answers prayer. It was a tough battle but finally God did what He alone can do. This is a miracle and I am so happy for his wife and kids.
I can't imagine the type of joy overwhelming surging in their hearts right now. They stood even in the test of their faith so affliction will not rise again the second time. God bless you Pst Saeed for standing for Jesus!

I remembered his story, it was a long battle but God prevailed.
