December 23, 2010

UPDATE: A pastor in TURKMENISTAN was given a four-year prison sentence. The verdict against him stated that he had insulted Islam and Mohammed. He will likely be sent to a labor camp where prisoners have allegedly been tortured with mind-altering drugs.

Pray for his release and for comfort for him and his family. “… for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant.”
