Last week The Voice of the Martyr's had their "Wear the Crown" Conference and one of our faithful persecution bloggers, Jan Fletcher, attended. We asked Jan to share with us her experience at the conference.

Yesterday I was given top secret information from The Voice of the Martyrs that I was told I can now share with you all. So today I wanted to do just that. Did you know that The Voice of the Martyrs recently hosted a bunch of teens who went on a missions trip to Vietnam? Me neither, but when I found out I was very excited to learn that they blogged about their trip and also took video of it.

This week we have a few great posts about persecution and faith that I hope you find a blessing. Let us begin the 6th carnival with a post from Sheryl who blogs about the Voice of the Martyrs Kids of Courage program.

Hear ye! Hear ye! Ladies and Gentlemen of all ages come and join us for the 5th Persecution Blog Carnival beginning right now.....

Welcome to the 4th Persecution Blog Carnival! I want to thank all of you for submitting your great posts and demonstrating your love for the persecuted church in such a public way. My prayer is that you will be as encouraged as I am after you read all of the wonderful entries.

I would like to thank the website Sword & Spirit for the awesome work they are doing on behalf of the persecuted church. Earlier this week I was notified about what this site is offering to their church, and any other church who would like to use what they are doing.

It's Friday...which means it's time for our Christian Persecution Carnival. This is our third week doing this and I want to thank those of you who are fulfilling your commitment to blog for the persecuted church and for submitting your posts on the issue of Christian persecution.

Welcome to this weeks Persecution Blog Carnival. I hope you are edified and encouraged by the entries we received this week and as you read please also pray.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the persecuted church but didn't know where to begin? If you have, then I have wonderful news for you because Oklahoma Wesleyan University will be offering an online certificate course in the Fall that is specifically designed to educate you concerning Persecuted Church Ministry and Theology, Toward a Biblical Theology of Persecution and Discipleship, God and Government in Restricted Nations, and Historical Perspectives on the Persecution of Christians.
