Christians Watched, Denied Aid

Turkey

January 5, 2012

The earthquakes in TURKEY last fall created a dangerous situation for over 150 Christian Iranian asylum seekers. They were often denied aid, and agents of the Iranian government watched aid stations to identify refugees. UN refugee facilities in the region closed down. Many of the destitute were forced to seek help in other cities, despite the legal trouble they could face for leaving their assigned city.

Pray for provision and protection. “We have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in heaven.”
