November Prayer for the Persecuted
Praise God for the release of U.S Pastor Andrew Brunson who was imprisoned in Turkey based on false accusations. Pastor Brunson, from North Carolina faced the possibility of 35 years in prison on Charges of "committing crimes on behalf of terror groups..." Thanks to the many prayers of Christians and the intervention by our government, Pastor Brunson is now safely in the United States.
False accusations against Christians are one of the ways that can lead to imprisonment and violence and which are also used to bar believers from politics and public life in many countries. Christians in Pakistan have become very vulnerable to being falsely accused under their country's "blasphemy law." Asia Bibi has been in a Pakistani prison for nine years under this blasphemy law. As a former Muslim who became a Christian she is accused of offering water to two Muslims at her workplace. As an "unclean" person, that is against the law in Pakistan. Christians in high profile positions in countries where they are a minority are extremely vulnerable to false allegations and rumors.
Please pray that God would protect Christian pastors, workers and believers from false accusations in countries where they are the minority.
