[Statement] Ronnie Floyd celebrates release of Pastor Andrew Brunson

Oct. 12, 2018

SPRINGDALE, Ark. — Dr. Ronnie Floyd, president of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, issues the following statement: 

“For two years, Christians in America and across the world have hit the floor with their knees in prayer for Andrew Brunson’s release from his Turkish imprisonment. Today, our prayers were answered. 

“I’m so thankful we have an administration that not only has made religious freedom one of its top priorities but has fought day and night for people who like Brunson have been imprisoned for their faith. As we celebrate Pastor Brunson’s release, let us continue praying for the men and women who are still behind bars and facing persecution for their faith. As Scripture says, ‘Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body’ (Hebrews 13:3).”
