Pastor Andrew Brunson and his wife Norine were in the European Parliament on November 13th, 2019, during the plenary session in Brussels to meet MEPs from all Europe. The conference was hosted by two MEPs : Bert-Jan Ruissen (ECR) and Peter van Dalen (EPP). Andrew Brunson told his moving story of a Pastor living in Turkey since 1993, imprisoned for “terrorism” for more than two years (2016-2018), during which he was a political pawn for the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He presented his book recently published: God’s Hostage: A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment, and Perseverance.
