This week's persecuted church: Iran


(#2 most persecuted country in the world)
A pastor was arrested on February 2 while visiting a friend's house. For weeks, the pastor's family had no information on where he was located. But recently, his wife was allowed to visit him - the only time she has seen her husband since he was arrested. She said that he had visible marks of torture and is "awaiting his trial and his death sentence" for converting Muslims to Christianity and performing their baptisms.
