“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” (Heb 13:3)
“American evangelical pastor Andrew Brunson has sent a “heartbreaking” message to his wife as he continues to languish in a Turkish prison 16 months after his arrest. He admitted he is struggling to deal with his situation.
“I am very discouraged. Please have prayer for me,” Brunson said in a note to his wife, Norine, via an embassy official, according to the American Center for Law and Justice.
“I love you — can’t handle the thought of growing old in this place, without you.”
The ACLJ, which has been assisting the pastor’s family in the U.S., insists that Brunson is an “innocent U.S. citizen” who is being held as a political prisoner by the government of Turkish President Recep Erdogan….
The pastor, who had lived in Turkey for over two decades and led a small Protestant church in Izmir, was arrested in October 2016, accused by authorities of having links with a terror group.
Officials apparently believe that Brunson has ties to U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan has blamed for the failed 2016 coup against his government. The pastor has denied such links….
The ACLJ vowed to continue advocating for Brunson before Congress, the Oval Office and the United Nations.
“We will not back down. We will continue to fight this violation of justice and human rights until Pastor Andrew is released and returned home to his family in America,” the group said.

Dear Lord, I pray for a mighty shaking of Pastor Brunson s prison doors like in Acts. They prayed all night and the prison shook. Please bring comfort and pease to this dear Pastor and his wife . He whom the Lord sets free is free indeed! Let the truth about his work and heart for his church set him free in Jesus name Amen.
The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand and like channels of water, He will turn it which ever way He will.
Lord, I pray that you will move the hearts and minds of authoritive persons both in USA and Turkey to bring about the release of Pastor Andre.
Help them to seen the importance of expoditing his case and let him be found justified in Jesus’s name, Amen
Give comfort and hope to both Pastor Andre and his family Lord..Amen
We declare over Pastor Andrew Brunson, the promises of freedom in Isaiah 45:2 NKJV “I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.”
Andrew WILL be released from this unjust imprisonment – we don’t know when – very soon, we pray, in Jesus’ precious name. Meanwhile, we pray for God’s peace and comfort for him and his wife and family.
We know that God is all-powerful, and is our Creator. We do not understand why He allows some of those serving Him to experience persecution. I pray that God will accomplish something good of this situation, and that it leads to Pastor Brunson’s safe release. In the meantime, please grant both the pastor and his wife comfort, and give them strength. In Jesus’s Name, Amen.
