Farshid Fathi, who was released from prison in December, was able to leave Iran safely several weeks ago, it was reported in late April.
He had been imprisoned for five years for his Christian ministry. He is in good health and has many poignant stories to share of God’s faithfulness during his time in prison. Farshid says: ‘His amazing love and grace was much, much greater than I had imagined.’ He said he could feel ‘the aroma of the prayers of God’s people’ while he was in prison.
Sadly, Farshid’s marriage to his wife Leila suffered when he was in prison. While close friends maintained hope that the marriage would be restored after his release, their divorce is already official.
