Czech-born Petr Jasek, a champion of the persecuted church, was accused of spying in Sudan and faced a death sentence. He was caught photographing churches that had been demolished by the state and was jailed for 445 days, before diplomatic intervention secured his release.
For many months, he shared a prison cell with ISIS fighters. One had been a bodyguard for Osama Bin Laden and had taken part in the killing of Egyptian Christians in Libya. When they discovered Petr was a Christian, they turned on him. Through it all, God deepened his faith, and his resolve to share that faith.
Petr Jasek is on a speaking tour with the UK charity, Release International.
