The Voice of The Martyrs

Here in Australia we are allowerd to worship Jesus Christ. We are allowed to have meetings in Jesus name, and we are allowed to convert our friends. We are allowed to have Bibles and read it out publically. We are allowed to be Christians.

My old soccer coaches grandad was shot by firing squad because he touched a Bible.

Millions of other Christians around the world know what its like to cling to truth in the face of suffering and persecution. They know that their faith could literally cost the their lives. Their churches are growing, and its no wonder why, to be aChristian in these countries requires real committment to Christ.

The Voice of The Martyrs website is great. You can listen to podcasts, you can get prayer newsletters to keep you up to date with our brothers and sisters in Christ who could die at any moment for believeing in the same God we believe in, Jesus Christ.

They need our prayers. We need their commitment. Get on their website, http://www.persecution.com pray for them, and be challenged by their die-hard faith. Theirs is the faith God calls us to have. How would you go if you were them? God, increase our faith.

2 Corinthians 12:10
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
