Turkey has just charged him with "Christianization." A 62-page indictment - a diatribe against Christianity and Israel - claims the Christian pastor living out his Christian faith, including through "humanitarian aid, education, and training," is terrorism. If convicted, he faces 35 years in a Turkish prison - essentially a life sentence for the 50-year-old American pastor.
His trial starts on April 16th. His situation is dire.
John 15:18-19 New Living Translation (NLT)
18 If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. 19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
