Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I am so excited for you to listen to this conversation

that I am having with missionary Andrew Bronson. You might remember a couple years ago.

He was released from prison in Turkey where he and his wife had served as missionaries

for several years and he immediately went to the White House and talked to President

Trump, thanks President Trump for his efforts for Congress's efforts for American Christians,

efforts and prayers in getting him released from prison and brought back to the United

States. He has a lot of encouragement for us. He's going to talk about his story, what

it was like in prison, the lessons that he learned. And then what he thinks American

Christians are facing as far as persecution goes.

And he's going to give us a lot of practical advice and a lot of biblical wisdom that

I think all of us need to take to heart. It's a very edifying episode. It's a very grounding

episode. And I'm really excited for you to listen to it. So without further ado, here

is Andrew Bronson. Andrew, thank you so much for joining me. I think most people know

your story, but could you just remind people who maybe don't know who you are and what

you do?

Yeah, my wife and I were in Turkey for 25 years as missionaries and it ended in an unexpected

way. I spent the last two years of that in prison. And a lot of people prayed for me

around the world. That's why some of your viewers will know who we are just because I became

one of the most prayer for people. I was out for two years. I would summarize it as the

first year was a year of breaking. And the second year of God rebuilt me during prison.

It was still very difficult, but there was a rebuilding process.

Yeah, can you talk about that a little bit more? Most of us in America, you know, we can't
