Last week I told you that Janet Parshall would be airing a whole hour concerning our brother in North Korea who may be put to death for simply being a Christian. If you missed the show and you are not a Parshall's Patriot, never fear, because you can hear the full hour with Janet by clicking here. This link is from the WAVA radio archives which can be found at www.wava.com

The lead story today over at our friends at Compass Direct concerns a retrial in an apostasy case. It's a very interesting story because it deals with religious freedom and also reveals Islamic law.

The following news appeared in today's email alert from Mission Network News.

When was the last time you visited The Voice of the Marytrs Canada's website? Well, if you haven't for awhile, then I want to encourage you, especially if you live in Canada. Glenn Penner, my friend, does wonderful work there in Canada, and he also writes a wonderful blog that you may be interested in visiting.

UPDATE: If you are interested in hearing this interview, you can either become a Parshall Patriot and listen to it in full, or you can visit WAVA Janet Parshall archives, scroll down to June 28th, hour 3 and forward to the last half hour of the show and hear Todd. Here's a link to the WAVA site. Unfortunately, Janet didn't highlight Todd this time, so you'll have to listen this other way, if you're interested.

Okay, since this is Friday, I just had to share with you all another news item about the newly freed Indonesian ladies.

If you're like me then you have been following the story of the three Indonesian Sunday School teachers who were recently released. I'm not sure why this story has so impacted me, but it has, and so I was thrilled to read some coverage of these ladies today over at Christian Today where they are saying their imprisonment was "worth it". Here are a few quotes regarding their stay.

If you are anything like me then you are REJOICING over the RELEASE of these precious Indonesian Sunday School Teachers today!

In all my time writing about Christian persecution the story of Rebekka, Ratna, and Eti who were imprisoned back in May 2005 for converting Muslim children to Christianity is one story that stands out above many others.
