Simple Acts ... Severe Retaliation

Jan 8, 2026

Strengthen the Weary Today

Reading your Bible ... taking communion ... celebrating Christmas or Easter ...

Simple activities like these can get you arrested in Iran and countries dominated by Islam.

Mission Network News recently reported that in Iran, “five Christians were recently sentenced to a combined total of more than 50 years in prison” for doing exactly the above.

One ministry representative who serves in the Middle East and North Africa explains how oppressive Islam can be and how we can support Christians in Iran:

“We can pray for the Christian community to be strong, to stand fast. But what also is happening in Iran is that people who have been under a real burden of religion, they have been turning to atheism. Because they say, 'If this is religion, I don’t want any part of it.' Until they hear the Gospel, until they hear about grace, until they hear about forgiveness. And it changes everything.”

Stand up for your brothers and sisters today. Stand WITH them with a donation to Liberty Relief International.

Your generosity will send comfort, support, and encouragement in Jesus’ name. Your prayers will strengthen the weary. And you’ll minister to people who need a renewed sense of hope in 2026.

Thank you!

In His service,

Mat Staver
