John Wesley said, "God does nothing except in response to believing prayer." And he said this as a man who spent two hours a day in prayer. Please pray today.

The Voice of the Martyrs very own, Todd Nettleton, will appear today on In the Market with Janet Parshall, which airs on the Moody Broadcasting Network.

Yesterday we shared with you an update on this story that Mission Network News produced. Today, we have an update directly from The Voice of the Martyrs.

Yesterday I noted that there was a story floating around concerning Pastor Nardarkhani's death sentence. I didn't post about it because I had not heard anything directly from my friends at The Voice of the Martyrs.

I have a confession...I am a bible collector. I definitely have more bibles than one person needs. I just ordered a new archaelogy study bible, just yesterday. I have a prophecy study bible. I have different versions, from the New King James Version to the New American Standard Version. I have leatherbound, hardbound, paperback, large print, small print, a bible small enough to fit into the palm of my hand and to be read with a magnifying glass, and a large bible that fits great on a coffee table. I LOVE the bible.

Thank you for taking the time today to listen to this very short Persecution Podcast. In this show Todd and Dory discuss the three countries that VOM would like you to pray for.

Last week we had the privilege of sharing with you a few prisoners that needed to be encouraged and written, and this week I wanted to bring back to your mind, our sister Asia Bibi. First, I wanted to thank you for writing our highlighted prisoner from last week, Pastor Y Wo Nie who is serving a nine year term. We started at 5249 letters written, and as of the time of this writing we show 5285 letters have been written, an increase of 36 letters from last week.
