Devot. God's Memorial Day

Dear Friends,
I hope you had a good week!  The devot. for today is a good one!  I pray it is a blessing. 
I have also included a very important petition for the release of two pastors who are imprisoned overseas.  Their trials were  over the weekend and are still continuing.  They need voices to cry out for their release. 
Please sign and pass on. http://aclj.org/ has an update on the pastors the front page of their website.
 
 I have also copied a very important and crucial update regarding Pastor Saeed in Iran.  For those of you who do not know, Pastor Saeed is an American citizen and Iranian pastor who was jailed 980 days ago for trying to start underground church in Iran.  Our President has met with his wife just a few months ago and Congress has made legislative efforts calling for his release.   But our voices need to be heard and they can make a difference!  I have seen it first hand.
 
Lord bless and keep you and yours safe this weekend!    Devot and updates below.

Pastor Saeed Update: "980 days of torment. That's how long American Pastor Saeed Abedini has languished in prison for his Christian faith.
He is forced to spend his days scrubbing the walls of an unsanitary prison bathroom.  Pastor Saeed is one of four Americans held hostage by the radical Iranian regime.  It is time for the U.S. government to secure the immediate release of Pastor Saeed, Jason Rezaian, Amir Hekmati, and Robert Levinson - all U.S. citizens wrongfully held in Iran.  Bring the Americans home. That's the message Pastor Saeed's wife is taking to Congress tomorrow.
The deadline for nuclear negotiations is quickly approaching.  Congress now has a voice in any final deal. Demand they be Pastor Saeed's voice for freedom.  Go with Pastor Saeed's wife to Congress by signing our new petition. Demand action to free the American hostages before it's too late. Sign Our NEW Petition: Bring Saeed and Other Americans Home. " Jay Sekulow ACLJ Chief Counsel
