Hey guys :) Wanted to bring to your attention Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, please pray for a miracle if it's God's will, and that he and his family would feel God's loving presence during this time.

Current state of things:

Family, Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's death sentence has been annulled temporarily, but now he is being asked to repent of his work for God. PLEASE continue to pray as Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is in a place of great spiritual darkness and evil. Pray that he will have courage to stand his ground and that God will save him from even this hopeless situation, and that if that is not God's will that he will grant Pastor Youcef strength to even overcome this tempting situation.
Death Sentence Annulled Temporarily
On Sunday, Iran's supreme court has overturned a death sentence handed down to Youcef Nadarkhani.

The supreme court has annulled the death sentence and sent the case back to the court in Rasht, asking the accused to repent," Mohammad Ali Dadkhah said.

The court’s decision will lift the death sentence only if Youcef recants his Christian faith. It is not clear what will happen if he does not recant.

Youcef’s lawyer was also sentenced on Sunday to nine years in jail and a 10-year ban on practicing law or teaching at university for "actions and propaganda against the Islamic regime.
