A few weeks ago I mentioned that bloggers have taken up the mission to follow the atrocities that are happening in Darfur, Sudan. Today I wanted to update you and give you a few links to blog sites that are still writing and praying about the situation. Please join them in prayer and tell a friend to get involved.

Todd Nettleton & Stacy Talk About the Latest Persecution News

If you've been reading this blog for some time then you know that people are arrested and imprisoned in countries like Indonesia and North Korea simply for attending a church or pastoring a church. In fact, the persecution is so great in these nations that believers have to start underground churches just to fellowship.

Glenn Penner from VOM Canada has posted a new blog entry on his www.persecution.net blog site. Here is the beginning...and be inspired!

I am so happy to be back and writing to you. I had a great time at the very first GodBlogCon and I have to tell you that it was exciting to note that people are interested in reading and blogging about the Persecuted Church.

Tomorrow I will not be posting because I will be attending the GodBlogCon that is beginning today. However, YOU do not have an excuse for not praying for the persecuted or writing them to encourage them.

When I saw this story I immediately thought of my friends who were missionaries for a year with New Tribes Mission. One reason why is because for a whole year, when my friends were out of the country, my husband and I watched their lovable dog - "Big Ears". The dog's name was really Leia, but I nicknamed her "Big Ears" for obvious reasons. Which has nothing to do with this story...

Hear ye...Hear ye....all ye bloggers who love the persecuted church, I have a special announcement concerning the Prisoner Alert challenge I gave you.

Today I was thinking about how hard the issue of persecution is to deal with on a continual basis and it occurred to me that we need to keep those who are involved in this battle daily in prayer.

This weeks Persecution & Prayer Alert from VOM Canada is loaded with great information. If you want more news on persecution please sign up today.
