Last Friday, late in the afternoon, we posted our latest Persecution Podcast. This is about a 35 minute episode and features some special things besides our normal prayer requests.

To Dinh Trung has put hundreds of miles on his bicycle, traveling bumpy dirt roads to minister to the K’Ho tribe. This is one of sixty tribes in Vietnam that the government forbids visitors to evangelize.

Middle East (MNN) ? Protests across the Middle East and North Africa about an anti-Islamic video, bombings in Somalia, attacks on American Embassies in Egypt and Libya on 9/11, and violence in France to protest an anti-Islamic cartoon.

A few days ago our Be-A-Voice-Network released a new prayer bulletin for our precious sister in Christ, Rimsha Masih, who is a teenager with Down Syndrome that was recently released from prison because she was accused of blasphemy.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of news concerning the anti-Muslim film that is being blamed for all of the protests in the Middle East. Today, CBN News gave another short report on one man, in Pakistan, who is now in hiding because he refused to shut down his business. I cannot confirm if this Pakistan business owner is a Christian.

The following news is courtesy of Mission Network News and Open Doors, please take a few minutes to pray for our dear brother in Christ and his family.

It's been a few days since I've posted about our Kids of Courage program and highlighted this wonderful ministry to children and since there is a cool post on their blog, I wanted to make sure you that you all don't miss it.

A few days ago the world witnessed a modern day miracle when Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, a man who was sentenced to death, walked out of his prison cell and into the arms of his wife and children. I still feel overwhelming joy as I type this.

Egypt (MNN) ? The hot rage that fueled days of unrest in Egypt seems to be simmering at a low level now.
