Story number 2 for 27 Nov 2000

Meanwhile, Keston News is reporting that recent convert in Turkmenistan was beaten by the former KGB after refusing to answer questions about whether he had been baptized and who was importing Christian literature. Interrogators failed to intimidate him into signing a statement promising not to attend church or to preach again. Turkmenistan is believed to be the most religiously repressive of the former Soviet republics. Please pray for the safety of Christians there.
