Earlier this week Compass Direct posted a news story about another church in Turkey  being threatened by armed men.  Here's the beginning of the CD article...

ISTANBUL, May 7 (Compass Direct News) – Three men, one of them armed with a gun and wearing gloves, threatened a Protestant church and its pastor in the Turkish capital city of Ankara yesterday. The culprits fled in a car before police could be summoned.

The attempted attack marked the seventh incident in the past four months of threatened violence against Turkey’s tiny Protestant community, most of whom are former Muslims who converted to Christianity.

Shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday (May 6), three men drove up in a blue car to the Kurtulus Church in Ankara’s Cebeci district. A heavy-set man about 45 years old went up to the locked church building and began to ring the doorbell repeatedly.

“Where is the pastor? We are searching for the pastor,” he said to a church member nearby who was cleaning his car.

The article continues by describing how the man acted when he spoke to a member of the church who was there waiting for a friend.

Please remember the Christians in Turkey in your prayers.  They are continually under threat from Muslims and others who deny Christ and wish they were not there.
