I am so excited about all the great things Voice of the Martyrs is doing for the kingdom of God. Yesterday I had a great meeting with one of the guys that works closely with VOM and we were talking about how we can encourage you and motivate you to spread the word about VOM and the work we are doing for the persecuted church. So in a few days you will see a whole lot of new things right here on the blog.

Hello Dear Friends,

Today I heard some really great sound that was captured at the National Religious Broadcasters convention a few weeks ago. The audio was of a panel that radio talkshow host Janet Parshall moderated concerning religious freedom under attack around the world.

Last week I received an email from Gospel for Asia and I noted today that the Christian Post has an article about the same issue - Christian persecution in India. This is especially interesting to me especially since President Bush is going to be visiting India this week.

It's that time of month again friends, time to write our prisoner under persecution that VOM has told us about on their Prisoner Alert page. This prisoner we all have the honor of praying for and writing is named Mr. Amjad Masih and has been imprisoned for 2581 days!

I still find it amazing that most of the media is not continuing relentless coverage of these fires in Alabama. That said, I'm thankful that there are at least a few places continuing coverage. Here's the latest...

Voice of the Martyrs Canada is quoted in an article today published on the Mission News Network website as saying, church leaders are concerned over the reciprocal violence from among their younger members.

Last year around Christmas time I shared how I ordered some great products through VOM for myself and my husband. And even though I'm not trying to sound like an infomercial, and I'm not being asked to do this, I really want to encourage you all to check out the VOM store for gifts, and spiritual products that will encourage you in your walk with Christ and love for His suffering body.
