Today I had the honor of speaking with Glenn Penner, the author of this great new book called In the Shadow of the Cross.

Today I wanted to share with you, my faithful readers, that Voice of the Martyrs has many offices throughout the world. Although, in the spirit of truth, you should know that the primary source of this blog is for VOM in America which can be found at our main website http://www.persecution.com .

As you know already, if you read my previous post, I loafed around this weekend and read my August issue of Voice of the Martyrs magazine. Which by the way, you can receive FREE yourself just for signing up for it.

This weekend as I was loafing around reading my monthly Voice of the Martyrs magazine I noticed that they have just launched a new website for people who would like to get more involved with them.

World Net Daily's Joseph Farah will be interviewing Voice of the Martyr's very own Todd Nettleton on the subject of increased Christian persecution today.

Did you know that if you sign up at the Voice of the Martyrs website for their magazine you can also get access to Restricted Nation Profiles?

I have a confession to make - I'm really lousy at loving my enemies, and being patient when I am wronged. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, since as an American we have so much and take so much for granted. Most frequently, we take our religious freedom for granted. We forget the power in our faith. We often forget the reason for needing a Savior. But the good news is that despite that, Jesus continues to love us and spur us on to what is right.

Volunteer - "A person who renders aid, performs a service, or assumes an obligation voluntarily." I like that definition. A volunteer is someone who offers help, performs a service and does so obviously voluntarily.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the countries where people are being persecuted, but didn't know where to go and were afraid to ask?

One of the ministries Voice of the Martyrs has is a website called Basic Fellowship.com and one of the functions of this website is to give you a place where you can go and share your ideas about persecuted Christians, and also offer encouragement.
