Prayer Works, People!!

This man, Said Musa, was listed on my "Prayer for the Day" just two days before the following article came out. (Praise be to God!)


As reported by the New York Times and other sources, Said Musa, an Afghan man who had been in prison for the past eight months and faced death by hanging for converting from Islam to Christianity, has been released.

Under enormous international pressure, government officials in Kabul, Afghanistan, said they freed Said Musa. His release followed intense negotiations between the Afghan government and United States Department of State and members of Congress and other foreign embassies.

CFI and other human rights organizations launched petition campaigns on behalf of Said Musa. “I want to thank everyone who prayed for this man’s release and who made phone calls, and sent in petitions,” said CFI president Jim Jacobson. “This case demonstrates that we can make a difference when we speak out.”
