Azerbaijani believers reject fear
August 7, 2008
Police raided a church in Azerbaijan. Some 30 believers were bussed to the police station. Then officers called the local imam. One believer says: "The imam held up a copy of the Koran and police tried to force church members to pass underneath it and deny their faith. They do this from time to time to frighten us."
Pray that the perfect love of Christ would cast out all fear, in Jesus' name. "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers."
