Pastor Dmitry Shestakov has been in an Uzbekistan prison for more than a year. The Voice of the Martyrs received an update that Pastor Shestakov’s faith is strong and while in prison he has had opportunities to share his faith. We invite you to send birthday cards and letters of encouragement to Pastor Shestakov as he celebrates his birthday this month. Let him know of your love and that you are praying for him. Pastor Shestakov has been strengthened by the prayers and help of believers like you. We encourage you to continue writing him letters and to continue praying. Also, write to the Uzbekistan government requesting he be released. Please send this e-mail to others who have a heart for persecuted believers and encourage them to write, as well. Get involved. Pray and write today! I encourage you to send Pastor Shestakov a letter of encouragement by visiting www.prisoneralert.com.
