This Wednesday (June 11) I will be receiving the 2014 Richard Land Distinguished Service Award (from the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission) on behalf of my husband Pastor Saeed Abedini. What an honor! I will be alongside of the Green Family of the Hobby Lobby who have stood for their Christian values and importance of sanctity of life for unborn babies. Here is my quote from the article: “I am honored to receive this award on behalf of my husband, Pastor Saeed Abedini, who is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence in Iran because of his Christian faith. I had hoped that Saeed would be here to receive the award himself, but I know that Saeed would say that he counts it a privilege to be suffering for Christ knowing that his imprisonment is being used for the furtherance of the Gospel both inside of Iran and also across the world. “There is nothing more that Saeed desires than to see how his chains have chained the body of Christ together in unity and have brought boldness to believers in proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ both here in the U.S. and abroad. When I wrote this, I was thinking of what Saeed would say and was reminded of the sign that Saeed had made in Evin prison reading Privilege of Suffering for Christ. erlc/article/erlc-to-present-awards-to-green-family-saeed-abedini-at-annual-sbc-meeting
