“The Z. family was being taken to a safe house,” report Harvest Iran Ministries. “They were travelling from R. [Pakistan] to J. When we entered in the city the situation was very bad. There was a high degree of fear and police check posts were active everywhere. Because they had had to escape quickly, the Z. family didn’t have any formal travel documents, such as a visa. While we were driving, we approached a police check post. Everyone was very concerned about what might happen to this family. We stopped at a nearby gas station and phoned Pastor D to pray for us in this situation.
