The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you. Innovative teachers Craig Gross and Jason Harper will separate the religious from the real as they show how this simple truth is worth our undivided attention. The authors weave Jesus' narrative with their own stories of serving among the "least of these" in this inspiring summons to world-changing faith. Join them as they encounter shut-ins, drunks, inmates, porn stars, and others while striving to follow Christ in their daily lives.
They Are Free!
A few weeks back I did a video and a post about www.freethemm.com.
This morning about 7:30, we received a text message with three words, "they are free".
We are so grateful for your help, your prayers, your support for this site and for our efforts to secure Maryam and Marzieh's release.
Your voice, your donations, and your prayers have made a huge difference today in Iran in the lives of these young women.
Praise God.

RELEASED! Maryam and Marzieh set free after 259 days in prison
Praise the Lord! Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Amirizadeh were released from Evin prison in Iran today, Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 3:30pm, without bail. However, they may yet have to face a court hearing and still need our prayers.
“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.
“Maryam and Marzieh have greatly inspired us all. Their love for the Lord Jesus and their faithfulness to God has been an amazing testimony,” says Sam Yeghnazar, Director of Elam Ministries.
We hope to share more details soon.
In the mean time, please pray:
- For their health to be fully restored.
- For their continued safety.
- For their full acquittal.
