Summary

In my testimony, I share how my husband Andrew’s two-year imprisonment in Turkey became a defining moment of our faith. Despite continual advice for me to leave, I chose to remain by his side, putting my life at risk to support him. My journey with him was filled with struggle, doubt, and despair; yet through daily prayer and unwavering perseverance, I witnessed the power of God’s love and truth shine through even in the darkest moments. This experience not only restored our spirits but reinforced our calling to pray for persecuted believers. My story is a testament to the resilient hope found in Christ even amid adversity.

In 2016, missionaries Norine Brunson and her husband, Pastor Andrew Brunson, were arrested in Turkey. Norine was released 12 days later, but Andrew remained in prison for two years. Norine remained in Turkey throughout his imprisonment to support Andrew and fight for his freedom.

Listen as Norine tells VOM Radio how she helped Andrew battle for his faith and freedom as she watched him suffer and as they both missed significant family events in the United States during Andrew’s imprisonment.

Hear Norine describe the lowest point in Andrew’s imprisonment and how she saw God bring good out of even the darkest days of Andrew’s discouragement and doubt.

Norine also shares with VOM Radio listeners how they can pray for the nation of Turkey as well as for the families of Christians imprisoned because of their faith in Christ.
