Recently there was a suspected arson of the Convent of Mercy in the Belfast area. The BBC News website has the story today.

"Calling on the name of Jesus...for your life time goes past...but there was not a moment when I thought I would die." - These are the words in an article by Dan Farkas that were left out.

This is a very good news story from one of my favorite ministries to the persecuted church - The Bible League. This is from the Mission News Network email alert.

The Mission News Network is reporting today that one of their former students who became a pastor was possibly murdered. Details are scarce at the moment but there is an ongoing investigation.

In a news release today Strategic World Impact is reporting that they are making an impact with the gospel in hostile regions of the world.

Yesterday Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt won the victory he has been fasting for over the last 18 days. The Navy has agreed to let him pray in uniform in the awesome and precious name of Jesus Christ. I would like to commend Chaplain Klingenschmitt for his courageous stand. He now joins with the great saints of old Peter and John who also did not waver when they were told not to pray in Jesus' name. (Photo courtesy of Leo Shane III / S&S )

I love to see soldiers praying don't you? This picture is classic, and it I love it because it reminds me that their are Chaplain's in the military who serve these precious soldiers.

I love the Mission News Network email because everyday I received great information about missions. Today this was in the email and it is so COOL...check this out...
