Some fantastic news from Joel’s Trumpet
Dear friends,
This morning we received news that Maryam and Marzieh are due to be released tomorrow, Monday November 16th, 2009.
We understand after their release they might have to attend court hearings. We are rejoicing at the prospect of their release but would ask you to pray for their full and unconditional release, and for their safety and quick recovery.
We look forward to sharing more wonderful news with you later.
Thank you again for all your support and prayers.
Pray for Iran
Sincerely,
Dan & Carmen Hale

Maryam Rostampour and Marzieh Esmailabadi are Iranian Christians who were imprisoned six months ago for converting to Christianity.
Maryam Rostampour, 27, and Marzieh Amirizadeh, 30, were arrested on 5 March by Iranian security officers who confiscated their Bibles. The women were taken to Evin Prison in Tehran, where they have been held without charge since their arrest.
The case of two Iranian women, Maryam Rustampoor, 27, and Marzieh Amirizadeh, 30, suffering in Evin prison, simply for converting to Christianity, has been taken up by the Bishop of Rochester, Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, who steps down soon as a diocesan to concentrate on helping persecuted Christians around the world.
