Allow me to introduce myself

I am a new poster to the persecutionblog, and I thought as my first post you might like to know a little more about me.  Below is my basic bio.

I look forward to being a part of this discussion; I consider it a great honor to work on behalf of my brothers and sisters in restricted nations, and to be a part of VOM's efforts to tell their stories to Christians in the free world.  Thanks for reading!
