Earlier this week I told you about how I love praying for Indonesia and so when this news came in from VOM Media I had to share it with you all.

Recently someone emailed me a rude comment concerning something I did with a podcast on my other site. Admittedly, I was hurt and annoyed that this person would do so. However, the next day this same person sent me a complimentary email and I found out that they had sent the other rude email anonymously because I was able to track their IP address. (Lest you think you can't be found out online) Well, I decided to let the person know that they had been busted and revealed to them that I knew it was them who insulted me anonymously and asked why they did it. They explained they were bothered by the quality of my podcast and felt bad about it so that's why they sent me the other nice email. Maybe that's true, and maybe it's not. I don't know their heart. What I do know though is that God will reveal things to us when we are seeking Him. God will also allow us sometimes to be made even more public with our views than we expect or want, and it's all for His glory. In the end, this guy was exposed, but he also ended up being a real help to me. The following Extreme Devotion is an example of how something initially appearing bad, is made into something great.

I want to share with you all a very special prayer request for The Voice of the Martyr's Canada's very own Glenn Penner.

If you live near or in Canada, you're totally blessed because then that means you're not too far away to attend their upcoming conference.

Has the Lord given you a burden for a nation? He has for me, and one of them is Eritrea, so when I read this prayer request, I just had to share it with you. The statistics are amazing. And when you consider that the majority of Christians in the world are persecuted, it's even more amazing. American Christian - are you taking your freedom seriously? I hope so.

Precious ones, we have a lot to pray about this week. So I would like to encourage you to print these posts up and pray over them. Remember that the Lord does hear our prayers, and even though we may never see the answers ourselves to our cries for mercy, justice and help for the persecuted, we can know that God does not lie, and that He is answering us!

If you're like me then you LOVE to write. Actually pretty much anyone who blogs is a writer by nature, since you can't blog without writing. Which is why you all are the perfect audience for The Voice of the Martyrs Prisoner Alert project.

As is our custom whenever Todd appears on Janet Parshall's America, we let you know about it. Today Todd appeared for a brief time with Janet in her third hour, which thankfully Janet has posted on the front of her site - which means you can listen for free :)

Have you ever wondered what would cause you to stop worshipping the one true Living God? I have to admit that there have been times in my life when I have felt so angry at God that I didn't feel like worshipping Him, and even thought about throwing in my faith all together. In fact, there was one time I was so mad that I even ripped up my bible, threw it across the room, kicked it and then jumped up and down on it. I was really angry at God for things out of my control, and yet what I've learned after all of these years is that our faith, thankfully, isn't based in our feelings because if it was, who could stand. It would be very difficult.
