Movie Fundraiser Helps Raise Funds For Abedini Home

Galatians 6:9 NCV We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.

A Hollywood film producer joined forces with a church that has been raising funds to support the family of wrongly imprisoned pastor Saeed Abedini for a huge event that is providing funds for the family to purchase a home.

Daniel Lusko, who has written and directed the still unreleased film “Persecuted”, held a special private screening of the movie with all proceeds benefitting the Abedini family’s fund with Joshua Springs Calvary Chapel.

The church has been actively taking care of the family during Abedini’s imprisonment.

Saeed’s wife, Naghmeh, attended the screening and told attendees that her husband is still in an Iranian hospital being treated for internal bleeding because of the beatings at the hands of guards and other prisoners.  He is still be denied much needed surgery.

Lusko said that he is planning two more sneak previews of the film with all ticket sales going to the Abedini family.

“Movies come and go and filmmakers like me don’t face much persecution. But men and women like the Abedinis face persecution and death every single day,” Lusko said.

  1. It’s good that Film makers will take this up so that Mr. Abedini can be reunited with his family. It has been an excruciatingly long time that he
    has been encarcerated.
