Imagine for a moment that you were captured and thrown in jail for just being a follower of Christ. Imagine you were tortured, beaten, raped, lied about, defamed and spit upon just because you believe the Bible is true and that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
What would you do? How would you feel?
Imagine that people were told about your story and you didn't get any help despite the fact that people were being told. How would you feel then?
I share this because unfortunately so many Christians learn about the persecuted believer, but they do not act. I want you to act today by taking the time to write a brother or sister in prison, and Voice of the Martyrs makes it so easy for you!
In fact, this past weekend I spent about an hour writing to all the prisoners mentioned on the Prisoner Alert page. It was easy, because they have phrases that you pick and that they translate for you. Then you just print it up, address it and mail it. They even tell you the postage amount.
And you can also email the governments of these prisoners and ask them for help. I did that too, and it was so easy and only took a few minutes.
So won't you please join me this week by writing at least one prisoner?
Imagine that it was you...because you never know, someday it might just be.
