Saeed Abedini: Faith, Resilience, and a Life Lived for Truth
Welcome. This is the personal blog of Saeed Abedini, pastor, evangelist, and internationally recognized advocate for persecuted Christians. Saeed's story spans continents and decades. Sentenced by Iran's Islamic Republic in 2013 to eight years in prison for planting a network of house churches, he endured more than three years of beatings and abuse before his release in January 2016. This blog reflects what comes next: faith lived out loud, honest writing, and hard-won perspective.
The posts here return again and again to one core question: what does it mean to rebuild, keep serving, and move forward after surviving the worst? Saeed brings a ground-level, firsthand view to religious freedom, Christian Zionism, and the global reach of the gospel. That's a perspective you won't find anywhere else.
