Naghmeh was born and raised in the Middle East until she was nine years old when her family moved to the United States. In 2001 Naghmeh returned to Iran as a young adult and lived there for many years experiencing the oppression and violence women are subjected to everyday in the Middle East. In 2012, her husband Saeed Abedini was arrested while visiting Iran.
Because of Saeed’s plight Naghmeh was able to bring worldwide attention not only to Saeed’s imprisonment in Iran, but also to the plight of the persecuted Christians worldwide. She publicly advocated for his release to President Obama, Donald Trump and Ivanka Trump, the U.S. Congress, the United Nations, and nearly every major news outlet over the course of three and a half years while he was in prison.

Persecution against Christians is increasing around the world. Christianity is now the world’s most persecuted minority group, but out of that persecution has come a tremendous message that must be shared.
Next year, BTJ is hosting a VOICES OF THE PERSECUTED CONFERENCE to highlight testimonies of underground house church leaders from China, the Middle East, and Asia.
Next year, we will be bringing speakers together like Brother Yun from China, Sister Esther from North Korea, Sister Shagufta Kauser from Pakistan, Pastor Brunson from Turkey, and many more speakers. The event will be the final week of October next year in 2024 and will be hosted in a special retreat in North Carolina.
For generations, the Western world has been a safety bastion for Christians, but that is changing quickly. Persecution against Christians around the world, including in the West, is increasing fast - as promised to us in the last days. This increase of persecution is leading many believers to ask the question, “How do we deal with this increase of persecution and what can we learn from those who have gone through it?”
不要怕(Bu yao pa)! - “Do not fear!” - is the message from Brother Yun. This increase of persecution is not a reason to fear, but it is a reason to rejoice, for the day of the return of Jesus is closer now than ever before.
VoP Conference ’24 will have speakers who will share detailed information about the increase of Christian oppression, evangelism during infliction, and revival during times of intense persecution.
This conference will be in an intimate setting and SPACE IS LIMITED.
An optional ‘meet-the-speakers’ hog roast will be hosted before the conference on Friday evening, October 25, for those who would like the opportunity to spend some time with the speakers.
More details will be posted soon. To put your name on a waiting list to be alerted the minute registration is posted, please send an email to belinda.btjtravel@gmail.com
