NRB's Aaron Mercer Credits Trump Admin for Pastor Andrew Brunson's Release

Following one final hearing in a Turkish court, American Pastor Andrew Brunson has finally been granted his freedom after two years of prison and detention – something faith leaders have long been praying for.

“Praise God, he’s released. This is a day we should be celebrating and looking forward to his return to the United States,” Aaron Mercer, vice president of government relations for the National Religious Broadcasters, told CBN’s “Faith Nation.”

“This administration has been working for a long time to try and get this pastor free,” he said, Brunson’s release should be credited in large part to the Trump administration.
