As we walk daily in our faith and face issues in our lives, we must always remember that the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, protect, strengthen and call you as His child. Because of the true grace of God and by standing firm in it, we are able to face tomorrow.

Prayers for the Persecuted - Pastor Andrew Brunson
A Christian pastor in Turkey was just imprisoned. He is in danger.
American Pastor Andrew Brunson - a U.S. citizen from North Carolina - has been falsely charged with "membership in an armed terrorist organization." The charging documents state no "evidence has been gathered" against him. He has been a Christian pastor in Turkey for the past 23 years.
Pastor Andrew had been in a detention center since October 7, 2016, but he was just transferred to prison. During his 63-day detainment, he was denied access to his Turkish attorney.
If convicted, Pastor Andrew could face years in prison based on extremely serious - and false - charges.
Keep Pastor Andrew, his wife, Norine, and their three children in your prayers.
