Encouraging and Arming the Persecuted

One of my new favorite things is reading the blog posts of Glenn Penner and Adele Konyndyk who serve with VOM Canada.  This week they both wrote some very powerful entries that I would like to encourage you to take the time to read.

Adele writes a post called Shooting Higher than the Moon: Encouragement and Christian Persecution  in which she writes about the difference between posterboard encouragement and the type of encouragement we give to the persecuted church.

Glenn has also written another provactive post asking the question Arming the Persecuted?  Some may think what Glenn writes is controversial, but I don't.  Be sure to check it out.  And don't forget you can visit their weblog on a daily basis here.
