Today I want to highlight two of the prayer requests from VOM-USA's prayer alert this week. Also, to remind you that you can sign up at www.persecution.com and receive the full report weekly.

The following is from my friends at Mission Network News - one of the best sites online covering Christian missions and persecution.

This week we have a great opportunity to show our love and support for Christians in North Korea. The Voice of the Martyrs is bringing awareness to the challenges Christians face in North Korea by calling on readers to write to Brother Son Jong Nam, an underground Christian who has spent the past year in prison in North Korea awaiting public execution. He is charged with being a Christian.

Today , The Daily Star is reporting the latest concerning the plight of Christians in Baghdad. The prayer of the Christians is for safety, peace and stability to return to Iraq so that they call all live in peace.

Before prison weheard about God.But in prison weexperienced God.

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.

OneLocalNews.com is reporting today that several hundred people are rallying about the Christian persecution in the Middle East. To read the full story click here.

Recently VOM Media produced the following news regarding our brothers and sisters in China.

Tomorrow is the 4th of July here in America and I wanted to challenge all of my readers to do an activity together, as a family or with friends, - write a prisoner who is imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ.
