It has been a few days since I've updated you on what is happening with Gao. I've been working on a video, but ran into some snags, so maybe I'll have that up in a week or so...we'll see.

This is an amazing story because even though this Christian is completely innocent, he is in jail. But get this, his lawyer is a Muslim who is defending him, and he is coming under fire as well. Read the full article and then pray for all involved.

Earlier today, Todd Nettleton from The Voice of the Martyrs appeared on Janet Parshall's America to talk about his recent trip to India as well as other stories of Christian persecution.

The following news from Compass Direct is a very interesting story as it relates to Christian persecution. This story illustrates that sometimes persecution comes through ruining peoples livelihoods. In this case, it appears that the target are Coptic Christians who raise swine. Read more about it below, and please pray the Lord would open a way of provision for our brothers and sisters.

Please join us in praying, and if you feel led to type your prayer, please do it in the comments. Thanks.
