Former Turkish missionary talks about Christian persecution

North Carolina Pastor Andrew Brunson addressed the US Commission on International Religious Freedomlast Thursday on the state of the Protestant church in Muslim-majority Turkey

Brunson spent two decades planting churches in Turkey before being sent to prison for two years on false terrorism charges He was released October of last year

In the midst of a huge crackdown Turkish officials have deported dozens of Christians families from the country Brunson warned However he also said many Muslims are beginning to turn to Christ despite the crackdown and a struggling economy

BRUNSON I think you have several experts on Turkey here today Im probably the only who is an expert on Turkish prisons My experience in Turkey illustrates and in some way epitomizes how the Turkish government views Christians The Erdogan regime has stoked an already deep-seated suspicion and animus towards Christians and one of the ways they did it was through my case Theres still a high degree of freedom for Christians relative to other Muslim countries in the region But Im concerned that all the signs point to this changing soon

Jesus said in Matthew 510 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

Dutch doctors destined to deliver death

Last year doctors in the Netherlandsended the lives of over 6000 peoplethrough euthanasia Meanwhile Dutch physicians say they feel coerced or blackmailed into performing euthanasia according to interviews by theBritish Medical Journal

The Worldviewspoke to Alex Schadenberg of theEuthanasia Prevention Coalition

SCHADENBERG This was not a massive study but there were 22 physicians And 15 did what they call really deep interviews where they went through a lot of issuesAnd all those doctors were doctors who had actually done euthanasia at least onceSeveral of them had done quite a bit of itAnd they were saying they were feeling blackmailed pressured controlled by othersThey had doubts about their decisions yet they went ahead with it anywayThe other problem is that when they were sent a referral they felt pressured to do that euthanasia

This reminds us of when Pharaoh ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill the male children of Israel but unlike these doctors they preserved human life

Exodus 117 says But the midwivesfeared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them but let the male children live

Last Thursday Evangelical missionary Andrew Brunson a North Carolina native who spent two decades planting churches in Turkey before spending two years in prison on trumped-up terrorism charges explained to the United State Commission of International Religious Freedom how Turkey views Christians reports the Christian Post

BRUNSON My indictment and trial give an example of how the Turkish government views Christians When my indictment came out it became clear that I was targeted specifically because of my faith My crime was Christianization acting as an agent of unconventional and psychological warfare under the guise of an evangelical church pastor All of our work was intended to fragment Turkey they said splitting it into pieces So basically the indictment associated Christianization with terrorism and presented Christianity as a danger to Turkeys unity

How we can remember the persecuted church

The Early Rain Church in China has been in the news after over 100 people from their congregation were arrested in December and they continue to face torture and persecution Pastor Wang Yi has said he will never plead guilty even if he is tortured

The Worldviewspoke to Nathan Johnson of International Christian Concern about how we can remember the persecuted church

JOHNSON Tuning into the news and understanding whats going is a big deal They need to understand that we in the US are very privileged We can worship openly We can go stand on street corners and profess our faith whenever we want toThats not common around the world today especially in places like China Being in tune with what is going is a big deal and being able to pray for and understand their suffering I believe this is a huge key to thatThis is a church that just wanted to worship Christ The Chinese Government said No and arrested a bunch of them six months ago and has tortured them for the past few months so we need to understand and be praying for those families

Johnson said the government tortured the Christians to fabricate accusations against Pastor Yi

JOHNSON We do know from those who were detained They were tortured They gave information whether true or false because torture is not a very good way of getting correct information that the Chinese Government is actually using some of that information that they got through the torture to actually prosecute Pastor Wang Yi for subversion against the Chinese Government Its obviously a terrible situation These families have now suffered more than they ever should have

Pray that these brothers and sisters are comforted by the words of Revelation 210 which says Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer I tell you the devil will put some of you in prison to test youand you will suffer persecution Be faithfuleven to the point of death and I will give you life as your victors crown
