The preacher asked for prayers as he left his wife and six kids to report to Maricopa County Jail.
“I have spent time with my family this morning praying, crying and saying our goodbye. My heart is broken, but glory to God,” Salman wrote on his Facebook page this morning. “Our God wil take care of us and my family. Please pray for us! Until God opens the prison’s door, I will be with you all in prayer and spirit.”

His wife, Susanne, was nervous about her husband being away for two months but stood by their decision to hold the Bible study gatherings.
