"We're sad but we don't hate."
(Evia, Greece)—The Christian Post reports that the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA)'s annual assembly opened on the Greek island of Evia this week.
According to the report, Zekai Tanyar, of the Evangelical Alliance in Turkey, "wept as he spoke of the shock he had felt at the time of the killings of Tilman Ekkehart Geske of Germany and Necati Aydin and Ugur Yuksel of Turkey in their Bible publishing office in Malatya." (Photo: Christian Today)
"It was as if suddenly all hell had been let loose," he said. "I couldn't believe it. Sometimes I still can't...we're sad but we don't hate."
Conference delegates, visibly moved by Tanyar speech, noted that the church in Turkey is "suffering from a sense of tiredness," and covets the prayers of the Body of Christ.
