Dozens of foreign Christians have been quietly forced out of Türkiye in recent years. After moving his family to Türkiye (formerly Turkey) in 2001, Jerry Mattix served in aid ministry and as a pastor. Last month he was told he is no longer allowed to enter the country—even for short visits. Jerry and his wife grew up in missionary families with hearts for missions. During his first semester in Bible school, God grabbed Jerry's heart for the Kurdish people in Türkiye, one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. Listen to hear how Jerry and his wife started ministry together in Türkiye, and the story of Jerry's first expulsion from the country in 2013, when he was labeled a “threat to national security.” Türkiye was founded as a secular republic, but in recent years government leaders have grown more open about favoring Islam. Jerry fought his first expulsion in court, and judges ruled in his favor, allowing him to reenter the country in 2016—but not to live there. Jerry and his family planted new roots in North Cyprus. They have seen the Lord's hand at work despite their family's upheaval. Following the massive earthquake on February 6th, 2023, Jerry made repeated trips to Türkiye to partner with local pastors and lead international Christians in to serve in relief work. Listen as Jerry explains the government's decision to remove foreign Christians from Türkiye and hear how the local church has “grown legs” to carry forward the ministry as foreign workers are being forced out of the country. “We're not praying for peace and prosperity, or for Christian persecution;” Jerry says, “We are praying for the kingdom of Christ to grow and thrive—whatever it takes.” Pray for Jerry and other foreign Christians who have been kicked out of Türkiye and for believers in Türkiye to continue in the ministry God has called them to.

From 2016 to 2018, Andrew Brunson struggled inside Turkish prisons. For the previous 23 years, the American and his wife had served as missionaries with Turkey's small Christian community. But when he was imprisoned on false charges – and then pondered the very real prospect that he would be separated from his family for the rest of his life – Andrew descended into spiritual crisis. In today's episode, Andrew provides a raw look into the emotional turmoil that gripped him behind bars. Doubts and despair haunted him. Silence and sadness assaulted his senses. But God was at work drawing prayer towards the nation of Turkey. As much as he was broken down, Andrew eventually sensed he was being built back up. What was God up to? Learn what Andrew took away from his prison experience, after his surprise release following a criminal conviction. And discover what he senses is now coming for Christians throughout the west. A dark wave is inbound. Christians must prepare now. Andrew longs to help you prepare to stand no matter how harsh your culture becomes.

On Tuesday, for the second time in as many weeks, Donald Trump tweeted about his commitment to end the persecution of Christians. By doing so, he is bringing desperately needed attention to what's brutally happening to more than 365 million people worldwide simply because they follow Jesus Christ. I work with an amazing Save the Persecuted Christians coalition committed to doing just that by holding accountable – and penalizing – those who perpetrate such crimes against humanity. In fact, as president, Mr. Trump showed in microcosm the effectiveness of this approach when he sanctioned Turkey to achieve the release of Andrew Brunson, a pastor it was then persecuting. It must next be done at scale. God bless President Trump for standing with Christians! Do so now by boycotting Azerbaijan's upcoming climate change conference over its past and impending genocides of Armenian Christians. BoycottBaku.org. This is Frank Gaffney.
Pastor Andrew Brunson, author of the book God's Hostage, was imprisoned two years for his Christian work in Turkey (now called Türkiye). He says every single day was a battle to overcome fear, grief and anxiety. One who inspired him in these battles was Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs. Brunson explains how Wurmbrand inspired him to dance inside his prison cell before the Lord. He says he didn't feel joy or happiness, but he set his will to act joyfully, in spite of his feelings. Brunson was also inspired by another former prisoner for Christ (and ), Dan Baumann, to lock away doubts and questions and choose to leave those in God's hand. Brunson says he told God from his prison cell, “I don't need answers to have a relationship with You.” Listen as Andrew shares how he came to “embrace my assignment” of being in prison for Christ. “I came out of prison with a deeper intimacy,” says Brunson, “I had the privilege to suffer for Christ.” God birthed a song in Andrew's soul while locked in prison. He'll share how his heart changed over the long months of his incarceration to a posture of faithfulness and trust; a change that happened despite not seeing his outward circumstances change at all. That heart change, he says, was his victory over the terrible circumstances and the injustice of Christian persecution he faced in prison. Finally, Brunson will tell the story of a letter he wrote to Norine that clearly demonstrated his changed heart. In the letter he expressed his commitment to drink every drop from “the cup of suffering” that the Lord had ordained for him. Andrew tells the entire story in his book, God's Hostage, which you can (affiliate link). Brunson has also released a teaching series helping Christians in the midst of difficulties and suffering.

Andrew Brunson and his wife Norine were involved in starting churches, training, giving aid to refugees, and holding a house of prayer in Turkey for 23 years. But that came to an abrupt end in October of 2016 when Andrew was falsely accused of terrorism and arrested. This resulted in him being held without trial for two whole years in various Turkish prisons. However, due to a worldwide prayer movement and significant political pressure from the US government, Andrew was finally sentenced and then dramatically and wonderfully released in October 2018. Andrew and Norine's current ministry, WaveStarters, is focused on the Muslim world, the persecuted church, and in helping to prepare believers everywhere to stand strong for Jesus in difficult times. He and Norine have three children and now live in the Washington, DC area. In this second podcast with Andrew, we talk about where the American Church is heading in our day. Andrew believes we will be facing increasing persecution and opposition in our culture. Certainly we can see that happening as Biblical Christians are increasingly marginalized and viewed as being “Christian Nationalists,” bigots, homophobes and haters. Andrew believes this may result in fewer real believers in our nation; but it will also serve to strengthen the faith and resolve of those believers who remain. Is revival coming that will expand the church? Andrew is not sure, but he believes the numbers of believers could grow along with increasing persecution and opposition by culture. God does desire “all men to come to saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.” (I Timothy 2:4). Will there be a huge revival before Christ's second coming? We pray so!

He describes how disillusioned he became in prison, not knowing when, if ever, he would get out, and the physical, emotional and spiritual pain he was required to endure. In a real sense, he is still processing his past experiences with the Lord on a regular basis. He believes we need to love God and be faithful even when we can't see God's love and faithfulness. And that requires God's Spirit to empower us as we daily die to self. I encourage Christ-followers to pray for Andrew and his dear wife Norine. For them to experience God's wonderful healing and comfort as they continue to courageously and faithfully spread the Gospel around our needy world.

Dubbed by The Economist as 'the most expensive prisoner in the world', Andrew's imprisonment in Türkiye became a subject of international attention and significance.

This one is inspiring and challenging in equal measure as Andrew shares with wisdom, humility and a desire to share the lessons he learnt as God's hostage.

Andrew Brunson has never been connected to Frontiers, but he joins us as a guest for this episode to share his incredible story of persecution and perseverance. Accused of terrorism by the government, he spent 2 years in Turkish jails from 2016-2018, following more than 20 years serving as a missionary and pastor there. He talks about the terrible suffering he and his family endured and how he almost lost his faith in the goodness of God, as his incarceration went on and on. But he also challenges us to consider our own faith, our own theology and our own preparedness for such things.He tells the full story in his book:God's Hostage: A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment, and PerseveranceAnd you can watch his video series Prepare to Stand on Youtube:Prepare to Stand Session 1 - Recognize the Danger - YouTube_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his guests.matt@frontiers.org.ukYou can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr visit www.frontiers.org and select from one of our national offices.

Risk - it's a part of life and it's certainly a part of surgery - hopefully, a small one. Still, the truth of the matter is - if you're considering spine surgery - you want to know what your surgeon is doing to minimize risk. It's an important question for anyone needing to undergo spine surgery and for today's guest, Andrew Brunson – it's something he's had to do twice. Once in 2016 – when he had a spinal fusion on his neck at a major medical institution and then more recently in 2021 – when he found Virginia Spine Institute in search of a consultation for a disc replacement. He discusses the patient perspective on selecting a spine surgeon who minimizes surgical risk. We will also hear from his spine surgeon Dr. Ehsan Jazini about the special measures he takes to minimize risk for his patients in the operating room. Learn more at SpineMD.com.

24 April 2022 - At the Crossroads 2022 - In 2016, Andrew Brunson was arrested by the Turkish government on false charges and imprisoned for more than two years. Andrew connects his imprisonment to a prayer he began praying in 2007: "Father God, draw me so close to your heart that you will trust me with the authority to start waves." While Andrew believes his arrest was a satanic attack, he also believes God used it to test him and refine him. Andrew says not hearing God's voice or sensing his presence in prison broke him. Yet the deep-rooted love nurtured over years of pursuing the heart of God sustained Andrew through his dark night of the soul and drew him into an intimacy known only by God's battle-tested saints.

Imprisoned for his Faith featuring Andrew Brunson Have you ever caught yourself comparing your trauma to someone else's? Or wondering why God sometimes allows bad things to happen? In today's episode, I'm joined by pastor and missionary Andrew Brunson, who was imprisoned in Turkey for two years on charges of being a spy and terrorist. Andrew and I discuss his amazing story of how God allowed him to reach his breaking point in prison but rebuilt him — and his faith — to be stronger than ever. We also talk about Andrew's opinion on what persecution might look like in America in the next few years, and what Christians should do to be ready. Don't miss this incredible testimony!
