Today WorldNetDaily has this interesting article which is a follow up to the extremely sad massacre of three Christians in Turkey almost 2 years ago. You may recall that this particular story caught the attention of the world media because the torture of these men was so unbelievable.

Government authorities in Orissa state have shut down relief camps forcing thousands of Christians displaced by the wave of violence that began last August to flee, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts.

As I write this, I am confident that my brothers and sisters in India are still undergoing severe persecution, which is why we may never cease to pray for India. Today our friends at AsiaNews.it have published a story from the widow of slain Christian Graham Staines.

A few days ago I wrote a post called Be Raped or Convert in which I wanted to help bring you all closer to the personal suffering some women go through as a result of their faith in Jesus Christ. Sadly, today we have this story from Compass Direct today, which tells us their story of persecution, including rape.

You may remember a few days ago I mentioned that we need to keep both the Israeli's and citizens of Gaza in prayer, and especially ask the Lord to protect and be with the Christians that are under fire there. Thankfully, today I have an update for you. This is from Christianity Today's blog. And if you click over there you can read two lengthy comments from people on the scene.

Earlier this week I was contacted by one of our wonderful persecution bloggers and I wanted to share with you a post that he wrote. This is from the blog Makarios which is written by Alan Leonard.

Wow...what a nifty headline heh? It turns out that is the focus of an article posted today at Catholic Culture and of course the controversy will continue despite the requests for Christians to be protected, they won't be.
