If you've read the blog frequently then you will remember this story. Three Indonesian women have been jailed and persecuted for simply teaching children the bible during "Happy Week". The verdict is expected tomorrow. Please, please pray for a just verdict and their release.

World Net Daily has posted a short article about some persecution that has happened today. Read the article titled 'Hindu radicals' ransack Christian church :Indians enter Assembly of God building, desecrate Bible .

The other day I was thinking about the many prisoners who are currently in jail for their faith in Christ Jesus, and the thought came to me what does it take to get Christians really motivated to write people they do not know personally in prison.

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but wings. --Phillips Brooks, 19th century pastor and author

Today we are so excited to announce to you that we are launching the Voice of the Martyrs Blogosphere Program. This is the only program using the blogosphere that focuses on the persecuted church because we know that bloggers are some of the best voices for the persecuted church.
