ISTANBUL — A Turkish court has rejected an appeal by U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson to be released from house arrest as his trial on terror and espionage charges continues. Brunson’s lawyer was notified on Tuesday of the court’s decision. Dan Wooding provides insight and an update regarding the imprisonment and recent release to house arrest of American pastor Brunson on the Dove TV broadcast. Turkey continues to reject pastor Brunson’s appeal despite tweets and statements by US president Donald Trump.

The United States will impose large sanctions on Turkey for their longtime detainment of Pastor Andrew Brunson, a great Christian, family man, and wonderful human being. He is suffering greatly. This innocent man of faith should be released immediately! 8:22 AM – Jul 26, 2018

Jeff Thompson

In 1978 at the age of 21, Jeff moved to Vienna, Austria to smuggle bibles behind the Iron Curtain. His book, “Leaving The American Sector” available from www.mercyprojects.org chronicles many stories from that time period. He leads Mercy Projects in Murrieta, CA assisting vulnerable children and families in Ukraine, Kosovo, and Armenia. He enjoys espresso from around the world, and this gives him the energy to tell his grandchildren stories of being banned from Russia twice in his lifetime. Dan Wooding and Jeff have known each other for many years.
