NAGHMEH PANAHI

While following a calling to  minister back in her birth country, Naghmeh married Saeed Abedini and they ministered to Muslims together in Iran.  After two children and moving back to the states, Saeed was arrested while visiting Iran.  Bringing world wide attention to Saeed’s imprisonment and to the plight of the persecuted Christians worldwide, many labeled Naghmeh a hero wife.  No one knew that a false image of Saeed was being portrayed as their marriage was filled with infidelity and abuse on Saeed’s part.  Eventually, God revealed to her that if she loved Saeed, she would draw firm boundaries and call him to repentance.  This call was not taken well by Saeed and he filed for divorce upon his release from prison.  Heartbroken and deeply sorrowful, Naghmeh drew close to the Word of God and found her comfort and strength in Christ alone, the true lover of her soul.
