Proof The Bible Is True

The wife of an imprisoned Iranian-American pastor has stated that her husband has been bringing fellow inmates to Christ and that his time in an Iranian prison is “not in vain.”

Naghmeh Abedini, wife of Pastor Saeed Abedini, told those gathered at Liberty University on Monday that though imprisoned in the infamous Evin Prison, her husband continues to evangelize. “He’s been asked and tortured to deny his Christian faith and return to Islam and he has not,” said Abedini, who said around 30 inmates have converted to Christianity due to Abedini’s witness. “For me to know that so many of them now know Christ, it makes it worth it. I know his imprisonment is not in vain.”

Abedini also told the students gathered that Saeed’s torturers have often told him that he could go free should he return to Islam, but that he refuses to do so. “The kids and I desperately want him back but we’re proud that over us he’s chosen Christ, even over coming back to us, he’s chosen to stand up for his faith,” said Abedini.
