Believers Fined

March 22, 2011

Officials in TURKMENISTAN put a Christian under surveillance and told him that all religions other than Sunni Islam were condemned. When he met with approximately 20 other believers in January, police arrested everyone present. They were abused and insulted for their faith, and an Islamic leader insisted they be charged. Many were sentenced to heavy fines. Two Christian children at the gathering were later publicly insulted in front of their schools.

Ask God to comfort the believers and to provide the money they need to pay the fines. “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”
