"I entered this meeting with much prayer and hope that the Lord would use it to open doors for Saeed's freedom." –Naghmeh Abedini

(New York, NY)—[ACLJ.org] U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations—Samantha Power—[this weekend] met privately with Naghmeh Abedini, the wife of American Pastor Saeed Abedini who has been imprisoned in Iran for nearly three years because of his Christian faith.

Naghmeh requested the meeting with Ambassador Power to urge the U.S. government to continue working to secure the freedom of her husband.

Along with Naghmeh, ACLJ International Legal Director Tiffany N. Barrans attended the 30-minute meeting, which occurred at Ambassador Power's office at the U.S. Mission in New York City. Ambassador Power told Naghmeh that she remains committed to Pastor Saeed's case and pledged to continue to raise this issue with Iran and other countries at the United Nations.

Naghmeh said she was grateful for the opportunity to meet Ambassador Power and to speak directly with her.

"I was encouraged to meet with Ambassador Power and to have her voice and her support for the unjust imprisonment of my husband, Pastor Saeed," said Naghmeh after the meeting. "I entered this meeting with much prayer and hope that the Lord would use it to open doors for Saeed's freedom."

The ACLJ, which represents the Abedini family, continues to reach out globally in its ongoing effort to seek the release of Pastor Saeed.

On Saturday, Naghmeh, who is in the midst of prayer and fasting for the freedom of her husband, posted the following on her Facebook page:

Thank you all for your prayers! Today I spoke to over 100 Parliament leaders from 50 countries (many Muslim countries were present)! The majority of my time was spent talking about the Gospel message and invitation for Parliament leaders to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior! It was great! I could sense all of your prayers as I shared the Gospel message. It came so naturally and from my heart. Thank you!

[Above] is a picture of me with a Parliament leader from Pakistan who is a Christian! Please pray for her. She said that many Christians in Pakistan are praying for Saeed!

I am excited to be heading back to Boise today and see my kiddos for a few days! Thank you again for your prayers!
