    Hebrews 13:16 - Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

    Pastor Saeed is  a U.S. citizen imprisoned in Iran simply because he is a Christian.
    It's been nearly one year since Pastor Saeed's illegal captivity at the hands of the Iranians.

    Now, Iran has a new president, and he claims to be more moderate than his predecessor.
    We're going to hold him to his word.

    Using a brand-new website that raises awareness for the persecuted church and gives a voice to the voiceless, we're asking you to sign a petition or write a letter to President Hassan Rouhani asking that he free Pastor Saeed.

    We've written text you can use, or you can customize to send your own message, but our goal is simple: 52,000 letters asking President Rouhani to save Saeed.

    We will send President Rouhani 1,000 letters every week until Pastor Saeed is free.

    Be heard. Help save Saeed.
