Two of our co-workers, Hakan and Turan, were first arrested in October 2006 and have had a number of court hearings during 2007. After a lengthy process the judge decided he would be unable to give a fair verdict and resigned. Since then a new judge has been appointed. He wants
to revisit all the details of the case. As a result Hakan and Turan face a further 12-18 months of uncertaintity as their case drags on. If you would like to read more then please go to this Compass Direct news article - Spurious Case Prolonged .
Turan came to faith through the BCC 17 years ago and Hakan worked for the BCC for a year in the late 90's. They are very clear in their commitment to the Lord Jesus. They are Turkish Christians, which for those bringing the case against them in a misnomer. Praise the Lord for these brothers who stand firm for the name of Jesus. Pray that the Church in Turkey will continue to grow and that more and more Turkish believers will be willing to count the cost and know that it is worth everything to follow and proclaim the name of Jesus. |
