Every week we send out a few prayer requests that we ask you to join us in prayer over. This week I've chosen two of the three we send out in our weekly email. To sign up for that email, please visit here to sign up.

Prayer is the number one thing that persecuted Christians all over the world ask for, so today we share with you again, this weeks prayer requests. If you are interested in receiving weekly prayer requests via email, you may subscribe at our VOM Groups page.

"praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" - Ephesians 6:18

We've covered so many of these stories in recent months that hopefully by now you are seeing the trend with trying to discriminate against Christians in the public square. We're seeing this in city council meetings, and this year we've seen a huge increase in hindering Christians say prayers or even acknowledge their faith in their graduation speeches or ceremonies. Here's another story concerning the City Council in Jacksonville, Florida.

Every week we highlight some of our prayer requests that we are diligently praying for here at The Voice of the Martyrs. Please join us this week in praying for these specific needs, and why not print them up and share them with your friends, Sunday school or bible study and your pastor.

Earlier this week we posted a few prayer requests from this weeks VOM Prayer update, and today we wanted to share with you one more prayer request to lift before our Lord.

It's been quite some time since I've updated you all with some of the prayer requests that you could receive via email if you were to sign up for them at http://www.persecution.com

Yesterday we shared with you the controversy at Exeter High School regarding prayer at graduation. Last night there was a 5-0 vote at the school board meeting which is now giving the students an opportunity to vote regarding whether or not there will be a prayer at graduation.
