When was the last time you visited The Voice of the Marytrs Canada's website? Well, if you haven't for awhile, then I want to encourage you, especially if you live in Canada. Glenn Penner, my friend, does wonderful work there in Canada, and he also writes a wonderful blog that you may be interested in visiting.

Special thanks to our buddies at Compass Direct for this late breaking news.

It's Friday and today I want to take the time to remind all of you dear readers about some of the great ministries that The Voice of the Martyrs engages in.

However, despite our Christian roots, 50 percent of all marriages in this country end in divorce. As Christians, we have a higher standard to aim for in keeping our marriages intact, but have you ever thought of marriage as evangelism?

This post couldn't wait until tomorrow because when I see a great film I just have to tell everyone. Seriously, just ask any of my church family and they will tell you that I can't be quiet about great media that exalts and shows Christ and His people the way they really are.

Today our friends at Mission Network News are reporting that Christians are caught in the crossfire in Gaza. Remember we asked you to keep those believers in your prayers last week. Here's what MNN is saying:
