The Christianity Today website today has an outstanding article called Cure for the IDOP Holiday Blues: It's not just about hearing sad stories and lamenting and you need to read it. Here are a few highlights.

We are looking for great bloggers like you (you are great right?) to sign up to help us get the important news of the persecution of Christians throughout the blogosphere.

The Jakarta Post is reporting today that the families and friends of the beheaded girls are asking for justice after the release of those arrested for the grisly killings. Here are a few worthy quotes from the article...

A few days ago I reported that a few men had been arrested in conjunction with those awful beheadings of those three Indonesian girls. Today the Mission News Network is reporting the following. This is sad, please keep praying.

It's that time again...time for you to get involved and write to our newest prisoner that you can find on the Prisoner Alert page.

Yesterday was the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church and thousands all over the world prayed.

I am very encouraged by all the news I'm reading concerning the IDOP for this coming Sunday. I've compiled some of the great articles for you to read below, and please pray as if it was you being persecuted.

If you have blogged recently about the persecuted church please leave us a comment or trackback.
