Send a Letter to Imprisoned Christians in Iran

SUGGESTIONS FOR PREPARING LETTERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO IMPRISONED CHRISTIANS

Thank you for being an advocate for religious freedom. The persecuted Church is greatly encouraged by receiving letters of encouragement. Your letter will be evidence to the persecuted that they are not forgotten.

Your encouragement may also help Christians receive better treatment in prison. Iran is sensitive about its image abroad, and your letters encouraging these Christians put Iran on notice that the world is watching.

HOW TO DRAFT THE LETTER

When writing your letters or cards, please do not state anything negative about the Iranian government. Do not mention any foreign organization or church that is supporting the efforts to free Christian prisoners . While it is safe for prisoners to receive encouraging letters, naming an organization or church or criticizing the Iranian government could potentially place these Christians in more harm.

We encourage you to write a personal letter of encouragement to imprisoned Christians . You can personalize the letter by sending a family photo. Younger children may participate by sending a drawing, encouraging these men and women in their times of trial.
