"We can never be silent when it comes to speaking up for religious freedom and the persecuted church around the world. September 26, marks the one year anniversary of Pastor Saeed being held in a brutal Iranian prison for his Christian faith. "No person, whatever their faith tradition is, should face violence or intimidation because of what they believe. It is important that we make a powerful statement saying, 'Christianity is not a crime.' "As we gather as a witness for justice and human rights in front of the White House, we will be asking President Obama to personally and publicly call for the release of Pastor Saeed and reach out to his family in support and encouragement. The silence of the President on this issue has not helped Pastor Saeed or the cause of religious freedom worldwide. "Finally, we believe that prayer can shift and shape history. As people gather around the world to pray for Pastor Saeed and the persecuted church, we know that a sovereign God will intervene and bring freedom, justice and healing."
