“Rashin Soodmand is a 29-year-old Iranian Christian. Her father, Hossein Soodmand, was the last man to be executed in Iran for apostasy, the “crime” of abandoning one’s religion. He had converted from Islam to Christianity in 1960, when he was 13 years old. Thirty years later, he was hanged by the Iranian authorities for that decision. Today, Rashin’s brother, Ramtin, is also held in a prison cell in Mashad, Iran’s holiest city. He was arrested on August 21. He has not been charged but he is a Christian. And Rashin fears that, just as her father was the last man to be executed for apostasy in Iran, her brother may become one of the first to be killed under Iran’s new law.”

Sojourn Community,

This is an invitation for us to make an impact in our Community. One of our own, Michelle Sisson, is a teacher at Lee High School, she is asking us to help tutor and help in this area.

Looking for a way to help your community? Interested in making our neighborhood even better? Lee High needs your help!

We are currently in need of volunteers to work with 10th and 11th grade students in a targeted reading program. Volunteer tutors will work with small groups of students (2-4) to help improve reading comprehension skills and vocabulary improvement. We will provide training and all materials you need to be effective in working with your small group. Volunteers are needed Monday through Friday from 10-2. You set your schedule! In order to maintain the small group communities, we do ask that volunteers commit to a time slot for at least 6weeks.

A training session will be held at Lee High School on Tuesday, October 14 from 4-5.

Hello Sojourners!

I am back from Spain, and what a delight to be in HuntsVegas for a little while! I loved being a part of the wonderful service and being able to be a part of some amazing worship at Sojourn the end of June.

I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your intercession and support as I was in Spain. It was amazing to see how the Father worked in the lives of several Spanish students and in some Spanish families. I loved being able to teach English as a second language classes to the students.

Please continue to remember Spanish friends that the word they have been given will speak to their hearts. I have been calling and chatting with not yet believing friends in Spain, and the conversations have been great. Please ask that they will seek the truth in their lives and that the Father would provide other believers in their lives as well.

The Father has been working through your prayers.
