Aslan International Staff : Jun 7, 2013  Aslan International

Aslan International is a ministry of Believers in the mission field of Turkey. They feed the poor, distribute Bibles and have established prayer and crisis hotlines in several cities in Turkey. Below is a request for prayer for the country as major upheaval has taken hold in the form of protests against the government.

(Turkey)—The nation of Turkey is in an uproar! Over two hundred forty thousand (240,000) people are protesting the current government. Most of the protestors are young people—eager for change. Please pray for protection for all Believers, and may this be a time that the nation shifts to more openness to Jesus! (Photo: BBC News)

Three gas bombs were detonated in front of one of the churches whose pastor we led to the Lord and Evan discipled. Pepper spray gas has crept into another Turkish pastor's home.

Everywhere people are taking to the streets, banging pots and pans till early morning, shouting slogans, and now over 3,000 people have been injured. It started out peacefully, but the protestors have reacted to the "excessive police force and brutality." (Photo: AP)

Now the protests have spread to 61 of Turkey's 84 provinces.

The embassy has issued an emergency travel warning to inform residents and visitors to Turkey of potential security concerns.

A spokeswoman for the European Union released a statement, "regrets disproportionate use of force by members of the Turkish police."

Thank you for your prayers during these times of civil unrest.
