Congregation Detained, Threatened

Turkmenistan

October 24, 2011

Police and a Muslim leader detained a congregation in TURKMENISTAN during their summer holiday together. Every day for the next three days, they were called back to the police station for interrogations. The believers were insulted and threatened for their faith. Finally their identity documents were returned and they were permitted to return home.

Pray that the church will be courageous and faithful. “...the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
