Marzieh and Maryam, our sisters in Jesus Christ, about to be forcibly married to Islamic men, raped, and hung

Our sisters in Jesus Christ, Marzieh and Maryam, are in danger, within 48 hours, of being raped and hung.

I was just informed of this urgent need for fervent and effectual prayer.

Tonight, at 11 PM Eastern Standard time USA, Marzieh, age 30, and Maryam, age 27, will together stand before a Islamic Judge in Iran on the charges of converting to Jesus Christ.

Since March this year they have been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ, in horrible conditions.

If they are found guilty tonight, they will immediately be forced to marry Islamic men, then forcibly raped. Then on Monday they will be hung.

If you receive this emal tonight, please pray fervently for these two courageous young saints.


Pray they will have courage, and peace, whatever the outcome of the trial, and that they will be faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ.

Also pray that this Islamic judge (who has already stated in public that he considers Marzieh and Maryam guilty) will be struck with dreadful fear of the Lord, and that he will be unable to issue this barbaric sentence against these saints.

If you receive this email Sunday or Monday, please continue to pray for these precious young women, and for their release and deliverance.

Gratefully your servants in Jesus Christ,

Court and Sandy Wood
I hope many pray for this need and this is averted.
Thank you for sharing this. It is almost midnight Pacific time and I am praying. I did a quick search on Google of the sisters' first names and found several articles. This one include their picture:

Voice of the Martyrs has a link where you can send them a note of encouragement at this site if that is possible:

Hi! Through google i just found this update here: http://themorningflight.com/church/maryam-and-marzieh-7-oct-09/

"Maryam and Marzieh, 7 Oct ‘09
Oct 9th, 2009 by graham | 0

On 7th October Maryam and Marzieh were unexpectedly taken before the Iranian Court to face three charges; anti-State activities, propagation of the Christian faith and apostasy.

Praise God there was a new judge presiding and he was sympathetic. He acquitted them both from the charge of anti-State activities, something which rarely happens. As a result their case has now been transferred from the revolutionary Court to the general Court to consider the other two charges."
