The Christian Post has released the identity of the Korean victim who was murdered by the Taliban, as 42-year-old pastor Bae Hyung-kyu, who led the team of Korean volunteers on a humanitarian aid mission to Afghanistan.

Yesterday I shared with you about 23 Korean hostages that were taken by the Taliban. Today, the VOM Canada prayer email alert shared that one of the hostages has been killed. Please keep this situation in your prayers.

The Times Online and our friends at Mission Network News are covering the story of at least 23 Korean Christians who were recently kidnapped by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

BosNewsLife is reporting that another Christian pastor has been beheaded in India. I'm not sure about you, but I get sick of these stories and even more so, I get sick and tired of reading the stats on this blog because people are constantly looking for pictures of people who have been beheaded. That's just amazing to me.

I would rather be hung than betray my Lord.

Liuba Ganevskaya had been beaten repeatedly in the Russian prison. But when she looked up at her torturer, holding the whip above her back, she smiled.

One of my all time favorite radio talk show hosts is Warren Duffy who used to host Duffy & Company right here in my backyard. Well, I recently found out since Duffy left Los Angeles that he is now broadcasting here online at Oneplace.com

A few days ago I was flipping through channels and stopped at this program where a Rabbi was teaching about how militant Islam delights in beheading people. As I watched this show, it was amazing how many news clippings he used to teach his audience about this type of brutality. Everyday someone in the world will die by the sword. Today and yesterday and the day before is no different.

Please remember to keep the families, friends and church members of these martyred pastors in your prayers.
