Imprisoned for a Powerful Purpose

[14] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Pastor Gul.

Pastor Gul was arrested and sentenced to six years in prison for the activity of his Christian faith. His elderly parents, brother and sisters continue to gather for worship with other Christians in their small, rented home, although the constant judgment and scrutiny from the community have created an atmosphere of anxiety and distress for them. They expressed both deep pain and joy that Gul “had been chosen by God to bear his name and bring hope and the gospel to inmates.” In a recent visit, Gul reminded his father of the story of Joseph. He expressed that he, like Joseph, is in prison for a divine reason. He was confident God would use his time in prison to bring glory to his name and lead many to salvation in Christ. Pray for Gul’s faith to shine brilliantly in the darkness of prison and for his family to remain steadfast and encouraged.
