Praise the Lord! Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Amirizadeh were released from Evin prison in Iran yesterday, Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 3:30pm, without bail. They may have to face an additional court hearing.
“Words are not enough to express our gratitude to the Lord and to His people who have prayed and worked for our release,” they said.
Maryam and Marzieh were arrested because of their Christian faith on March 5, 2009. Though their health has suffered greatly while in prison, they are doing as well as could be expected, and are rejoicing in the Lord’s faithfulness to them.
We greatly rejoice in their release and ask you to pray for their full and unconditional release, and for their safety and quick recovery. We look forward to sharing more wonderful news with you later.
Thank you again for all your support and prayers and please continue to pray for Maryam and Marzieh to have a safe transition.
Jesus is Lord! Hear our prayers and praises, Lord. Help us do all we can so You can take care of the rest. Thank You for grace to advance Your kingdom on earth. Thank You for Your everlasting love and the strength of Your joy. You are great, and You are good. I love and adore You forever and trust in You forever for everything. Maranatha!
