One of the most restricted nations and oppressive nations to live in for Christians is North Korea.

A few days ago our Be-A-Voice-Network sent out an update about what is happening in Vietnam with the church. If you are not yet a member of our Be-A-Voice-Network, I'd love for you to join us. Click here to learn more about how to become actively involved in being a voice for the persecuted church.

Every week here on the Persecution blog, I like to encourage you to take action for a brother or sister in the Lord who is being persecuted for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Last week our Be-A-Voice-Network program sent out an update about one of our highlighted prisoners over on Prisoner Alert.com, today I want to ask you to consider writing this brother.

One of The Voice of the Martyrs most active and impacting programs is the Be-A-Voice-Network. We've shared with you before how easy it is to become a member and then get involved, but in case you're new to our blog, I wanted to share with you again today how easy it is to "be a voice" for the persecuted church.

Recently we shared with our Be-A-Voice Network a new prayer bulletin that highlights a Christian poet that has been detained in Turkmenistan. If you're not familar with The Voice of the Martrys Be-A-Voice Network, please click here to learn more. Currently we have a membership of 9580 people who are committed to praying and acting on behalf of persecuted Christians. I invite you to join today.

Imagine being one of only three Christian families in a village of 1500 families. Now imagine you were having a conversation about faith and you shared about your love for Jesus Christ, with the Muslims you were working with. Next, imagine that your Muslim coworkers were insisting that you recant your faith in Jesus Christ and become a follower of Allah. Imagine that you were beaten and then mocked and ridiculed publically so that all of the community would know you follow Jesus Christ. Finally, imagine that you were arrested for blasphemy, put in jail, and had a death sentence hanging over your head.

Today we wanted to remind you about our wonderful Be-A-Voice-Network which will allow you time to fellowship with others and also a place to get specific prayer requests for needs in the world of persecution.
