The American pastor who was falsely charged by the Turkish regime of terrorism and espionage gave a frank account of his ordeal in a video interview with WND, confessing that his first year in prison “broke” him, to the point of losing his will to live.

“In the midst of my weakness and brokenness I had to learn to stand,” he said.

After returning to the United States after 25 years in Turkey, he noticed a dramatic rise in hostility toward Christians that appears only to be increasing. And he warns American followers of Jesus they may not be as prepared as they think they are to face persecution.

“Persecution can make you stronger,” he told WND in the interview embedded at the end of this article. “But it can also knock you out.”
