Thank you all for joining us again in prayer this week. The prayers of the righteous accomplish much!

Special thanks to Greg Yoder and all of our friends at Mission Network News for always supporting the work of VOM.

The following is from our friends at China Aid.

Prayer is the gift God has given us to communicate with Him moment by moment and day by day. Which is why this The Voice of the Martyrs prayer banner is very cool and very inspirational to have.

ISTANBUL (Compass Direct News) – An Algerian court on Tuesday acquitted two Christian men of eating during Ramadan in spite of a prosecutor’s demand that they be punished for “insulting Islam.”

Have you ever felt like all you can do is pray for an unsaved loved one? Do you have a friend or family member who you still long to find the love and grace of Jesus? If this is you, may I tell you a little bit about Christian Wolfkes who is an old German carpenter who is credited with praying Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand into the kingdom of God in 1938.

After the demolition, dozens of church members held a church service and police officers tried to disperse them. A member of the church said a line of police prevented them from removing their belongings from the prayer room. This is the second such incident in less than a month. Authorities had previously raided the church on Aug. 30. “The last time they came here, they tore down six of the eight rooms,” the church’s pastor said. “About 200 people came again and surrounded the entire place. Then, they totally leveled the buildings, stating that the structures violated the building code.”

Even though this story is a few days old, I think it's worthy of your time. OneNewsNow has the full story.

The Christian Broadcasting Network reported yesterday the good news that Libya has released a South Korean Christian pastor and a businessman on Sunday, who had been accused of proselytizing in the Muslim country.

Yesterday, our very own Todd Nettleton, was interviewed by In the Market host, Janet Parshall about the latest happenings in the world of Christian persecution and ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs.
