Where is God in Our Suffering? pt 2

8/23/25 Where is God in Our Suffering? pt 2 1951

Andrew Brunson, author of God’s Hostage – A True Story of Persecution, Imprisonment and Perseverance, was sentenced to 35 years in a filthy crowded prison where he felt abandoned by God. He thought he would lose his mind and his faith. But his wife Noreen contacted President Trump to negotiate with the president of Turkey for his release. Brunson wondered why his loving heavenly Father would abandon him, but God used his imprisonment to start a worldwide prayer movement for his release and the salvation of Muslims in Turkey. There’s a depth of intimacy that only comes through severe testing by God.
