Last week, I was once again reminded how much our brothers and sisters in oppressed countries need prayer. With the execution of an Iranian pastor that seems inevitable(if it hasn't happened already), we need more awareness of what goes on in other countries. My problems are so small. In fact, are they really problems at all? I encourage everyone reading this to visit the Voice of the Martyrs website here at www.persecution.com. Please request a free copy of Richard Wurmbrand's book Tortured for Christ. Also, you can request a free subscription to their monthly magazine. Please promote the awareness of the persecuted church.
It is a humbling thought to know that many persecuted Christians pray for us Christians in the free world. How humbling! How disgraceful to us American Christians that we cant pray for them. The gospel gets out by God's word being preached. When gospel churches are established, the preached word and the sacraments feed the people of God and the love of these people goes forth to their communities and their villages and cities.
Pray for them....the ones persecuted for the sake of Christ and His Gospel!
