Belarus Church Ends Hunger Strike

CBNNews.com- The members of a church in Belarus have suspended their hunger strike, which began several weeks ago.

They were protesting the government's attempt to take away their church.

The pastor of New Life Church in the capital city of Minsk says he received a letter from the Belarus Supreme Court, saying it will hear the church's case this month.

Some 80 Christians will continue a round-the-clock prayer vigil at the church until the matter is resolved.
