We so take for granted our freedom to worship Jesus, and I think sometimes just believe this is the way it is everywhere. We forget that in many places the act of becoming a Christian or preaching Jesus can be life-altering or life-threatening. Let me encourage y0u to take a moment today to pray for this pastor in Iran, his family, and his people. Be sure to include your kids in the prayer time and teach them that persecution is part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
