In April in TURKEY, a Christian leader was nearly attacked outside a church building. His assailant fired shots in the air and shouted that the believer would be held responsible for his “missionary activities.” He accused missionaries of changing Turkey’s religious direction. Police took the attacker into custody.

Thank God for sparing the church leader’s life. “The rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.”
