Recently we received an email about an Indiana Pastor who is trying to bring awareness to the plight of our persecuted brothers and sisters.

The picture in this post is Pastor Youcef Nardakhan who is being persecuted for his faith in Jesus Christ. According to VOM contacts in Iran it has been reported that he has been sentenced to death for apostasy.

It's been awhile since we've reminded you to pray for one of the Restricted Nations that we have highlighted on our Restricted Nations page. Today, I wanted to remind you to pick a nation and pray for the people of that nation.

Iran (MNN) -- Iran's Supreme Leader is taking off the mask. Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs USA says, "This is another step in what is becoming a very open animosity between the Iranian government and the house church movement in Iran."

Last week we told you continually about the death sentence by hanging that Asia Bibi has been given by the Pakistani government for allegedly blaspheming Muhammed.

We have mentioned numerous times on this blog how The Voice of the Martyrs t-shirts are a powerful witnessing tool to not only other Christians, but also to people who have yet to meet Jesus Christ.
