As you may know every month The Voice of the Martyrs has a special media section at our main website http://www.persecution.com and so today I wanted to remind you that because this months issue of our newsletter is about giving you updates, we have 8 different media packets for you to download and learn from.

One of my favorite people in the whole wide world is Glenn Penner who is the CEO of the Voice of the Martyrs Canada (VOMC), and it's not only because he has a heart for the persecuted church, but it's also because he just loves life and loves to laugh. I highly recommend you taking a few minutes to read Glenn's blog. (Right now he has a great video about twitter on there.)

In doing some research this morning about Dumitru Bacu, as a result of today's Extreme Devotion (see previous post), I just happened to find an article that talked about a fellow prisoner by the name of Father Gheorghe Calciu-Dumitreasa.

Dumitru Bacu was a Christian prisoner during the 1950s and 1960s. Like so many others, his crime was simply being a Christian. Dumitru used his twenty years in prison to compose poetry of love to God. The poems were carefully written in small bars of soap or tapped through the walls in Morse code so that others could learn and pass them from cell to cell.
