Pastor Threatened

Azerbajian

July 2, 2010

Recently, police in AZERBAIJAN threatened a pastor, questioned him about the religious books in his home, and told him that his church has no right to gather for worship. For about fifteen years, the church’s repeated attempts at legal registration have been denied.

Pray that the congregation will persevere. “For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.”
