Earlier this week our friends at Mission Network News published the following story that includes The Voice of the Martyrs very own Todd Nettleton. Please pray for those working at Mission Network News and also for those in India being persecuted, and the families left behind.

Voice of the Martyrs-Canada sources say a Muslim mob burned down the Indonesia Evangelical Mission Church building in the Singkil area of Aceh six nights ago. Word of a planned revival meeting spread amongst the radical Muslims in the community. The church is now meeting for worship in a local home.

On August 10, 1945, a few U.S. colonels were given 30 minutes to decide the Korean border after the peninsula was taken from Japan. They decided on the 38th parallel, and the Soviets agreed. This border remained until the end of the Korean War, when a new demarcation line was drawn in 1950.
