Killed For Jesus

Maybe one of the least understood things in the American church is the persecution the church around the world faces on a daily basis.

RIGHT NOW, there is a man in Afghanistan, in jail, awaiting to be executed next week for his decision to put His faith in Jesus.

HERE is an article that tells more.

One thing you can do is to write the white house and ask that the president get involved in trying to influence a different outcome.

I took time today to write the white house a short note in the online forum provided on the page that I linked above.

PLEASE take a minute and send a letter of your own. Someone is about to be executed for believing in Jesus, PLEASE do not do nothing. Below is a copy of the request I submitted to the white house, feel free to use it if it helps.

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing on behalf of Sayed Mossa who is from Afghanistan, and is in jail in Afghanistan because he decided, of his own free choice, to follow Jesus.

He stands to be executed for his decision to follow Jesus next week.

I am asking that you please put your full ability and influence behind this matter to ask President Karzai to release him.

I know there is life being taken in shameful & horrible ways each day that you would like to do something about, and it’s impossible to help them all. However, this situation couldn’t possibly be more horrific, inhuman, & senseless than it is.

Not a person in our word should sit still while another human being is murdered by a country’s government for their religious decisions.

I am aware that your job and the scope of what consumes your time & attentions is enormous. But,I am asking still that you PLEASE give this matter your immediate and full attention.

Respectfully,
Craig


Add your voice to the growing cry that our president put some of his influence into this matter.
