Earlier today, Todd Nettleton from The Voice of the Martyrs appeared on Janet Parshall's America to talk about his recent trip to India as well as other stories of Christian persecution.

The following news from Compass Direct is a very interesting story as it relates to Christian persecution. This story illustrates that sometimes persecution comes through ruining peoples livelihoods. In this case, it appears that the target are Coptic Christians who raise swine. Read more about it below, and please pray the Lord would open a way of provision for our brothers and sisters.

Please join us in praying, and if you feel led to type your prayer, please do it in the comments. Thanks.

As you know, we at The Voice of the Martyrs, want you to pray for our persecuted family in Christ Jesus, and so today I thought I would split up our prayer requests so that you may have a more focused way to pray. Please leave your prayers in the comments if you feel comfortable doing that.

“I purified my heart of the fear of men, and I learned to see God.”

On April 26, three Christians were killed and two others wounded in Kirkuk, Iraq, according to CNN.com.
