The letter written earlier this week isthe first time in nearly a year that Pastor Youcef has been able tospeak out publicly about his illegal imprisonment in Iran. He encourages the members of his congregation and supporters allover the world that he is in "perfect health" and urgesthem to continue having faith in God. He specifically thankseveryone who has "asked for my release, or campaigns andhuman rights activities which are going on against the chargeswhich are applied to me," and he urges everyone to"pray for me." Below is the entire letter from Pastor Youcef obtained andtranslated into English by Jason DeMars of Present Truth Ministries , who the ACLJ has been working with on Pastor Youcef"s casefrom the beginning.
May 7, 2012 Greetings from your servant and younger brother in Christ, YoucefNadarkhani. To: All those who are concerned and worried about my currentsituation. First, I would like to inform all of my beloved brothers andsisters that I am in perfect health in the flesh and spirit. And Itry to have a little different approach from others to these days,and consider it as the day of exam and trial of my faith. And inthese days which are hard in order to prove your loyalty andsincerity to God, I am trying to do the best in my power to stayright with what I have learned from God's commandments.
I need to remind my beloveds, though my trial due has been so long,and as in the flesh I wish these days to end, yet I havesurrendered myself to God's will. I am neither a political person nor do I know about politicalcomplicity, but I know that while there are many things in commonbetween different cultures, there are also differences betweenthese cultures around the world which can result in criticism,which most of the times response to this criticisms will be harshand as a result will lengthen our problems. From time to time I am informed about the news which is spreadingin the media about my current situation, for instance beingsupported by various churches and famous politicians who have askedfor my release, or campaigns and human rights activities which aregoing on against the charges which are applied to me. I do believethat these kind of activities can be very helpful in order to reachfreedom, and respecting the human rights in a right way can bringforth great results in this. I want to appreciate all those are trying to reach to this goal.But at the other hand, I'd like to announce my disgust at insultingwords or activities which make stress and trouble, whichunfortunately are done with the justification (excuse) of defendinghuman rights and freedom, for the final result is so clear andobvious for me.
Insulting the belief of other nations or people,whether they be a majority or minority, is not accepted and is anunworthy deed, specifically for those who have this teaching tolove and respect others more than themselves and treat them thesame as you want to be treated. Then, burning and insulting is not a reverent behavior for aChristian, but it's worthy to be in obedience to the word of Godand humble ourselves to glorify God. I try to be humble and obedient to those who are in power,obedience to those in authority which God has granted to theofficials of my country, and pray for them to rule the countryaccording to the will of God and be successful in doing this. For Iknow this in this way I have obeyed God's word. I try to obey alongwith those whom I see in a common situation with me.
They never hadany complaint, but just let the power of God be manifested in theirlives, and though sometimes we read that they have used this rightto defend themselves, for they had this right, I am not anexception as well and have used all possibilities and so forth andam waiting for the final result. So I ask all the beloved ones to pray for me as the holy word hassaid. At the end I hope this be prepared as soon as possible, asthe authorities of my country will do with free will according totheir law and commandments which are answerable to. May God's Grace and Mercy be upon you now and forever. Amen.
Youcef Nadarkhani The original letter in Farsi is posted here . It is very encouraging that Pastor Youcef is not only able tocommunicate with the outside world, but that he is aware of theinternational outcry on his behalf. News of his story is reachingall the way around the world back into the heart of Iran. It is critical that we keep this intense pressure on Iran for hisrelease.
Please continue to pray, Tweet for Youcef , and urge the U.S. Senate to quickly and unanimously pass a resolutiondemanding his release . Tags » Youcef , Nadarkhani , Christian , Pastor , letter. I am Personal Care writer, reports some information about threading facial hair , hair free gel.
