A Friendly Reminder

by Thabiti Anyabwile

Pray for the persecuted brethren today.  And each day the Lord grants.

Several stories from Crosswalk.com to stir empathy and prayer:

Various incidents in India.

Religious freedom violations in Morocco.

Destruction of church buildings and forced relocations in Laos.

500 Christians face new Sharia regime under Taliban rule in Pakistan village.

Raids, arrests and harrassments in Uzbekistan.

"Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison.  They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword.  They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated--the world was not worthy of them." (Heb. 11:35-38)

Let's pray for them today.
