"Missionary activities are not merely religious in nature but are also politically motivated activities aimed at harming social peace among Turks, says Mehmet Aydın, the state minister responsible for religious affairs."
"'The goal of those activities is harming the cultural, religious, national and historical unity of the people of Turkey,' Anatolia news agency quoted Aydın as saying. 'These are not merely religious activities and they are not only carried out by Christian clerics. We have observed doctors, nurses, engineers, Red Cross officials, human rights defenders, peace activists and language tutors conducting missionary activities.'"
Please pray that this type of scrutiny and persecution will have a positive impact on the work here.
