This week we have a little bit longer podcast that you'll want to tune in for. Learn the latest prayer requests from David and then hear some inspiring comments regarding the persecuted church, fear and hope. What is stronger fear or hope?

As you pray today for the persecuted church, consider the words of the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs. Pray for the safety of the persecuted church, but do not forget to pray for those who are lost and without Jesus Christ.

For the last few weeks I've been posting branded graphics with all of our stories, because I know so many of you are on Pinterest and are sharing your messages on this very popular social media network.

One of the things I love about living in the 21st century is modern technology. We have the opportunity now to spread the gospel in some pretty cool ways that generations before us could never do. So when I see people on the relatively new social media network, Pinterest, which has been around since 2009, but has really exploded in popularity at the end of 2011 and this year, I just have to say that I get very excited.
