It looks like justice has been done for the nun we mentioned in an earlier post. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the monk and nuns have been indicted in the exorcism death that took place recently.

I would like to thank blogger Karen of Scottsdale for pointing us in the direction of this story.

I would like to take a moment to welcome the new readers to this blog who may have come by way of La Shawn Barber's blog. Thanks La Shawn for the plug!

One of the ministries Voice of the Martyrs has is a website called Basic Fellowship.com and one of the functions of this website is to give you a place where you can go and share your ideas about persecuted Christians, and also offer encouragement.

BosNewsLife.com has a few headlines of some encouraging news for Christians who have been persecuted. (In order to read the full story you must register and pay a small fee.)

Last week I received an email from a friend of mine who has gone on a missions trip to Africa. I thought the email was so moving and tells of the struggles and triumphs of one Christian that you might be inspired by it as well. I've changed my friends name to protect him. This is from "Craig."

Last week I ended the week by sharing a devotional thought from one of my favorite books Extreme Devotion. Today I thought I'd do the same thing, so that as you go into the weekend, you can think about your faith and those who are suffering for the precious name of Jesus.

A news story that is currently running on the London Reuters website tells us that there is a new bill called The Racial and Religious Hatred Bill, which will give followers of all faiths equal protection from incitement to hatred.

People who stand up for their convictions are my personal heroes because they are not people who decide to follow the broad path, but rather the narrow path that sets them apart from the average person. Bonhoeffer was one such man and today I found this great article about a new book about him at a website called Chico Enterprise Record.

It has been a very busy day for me today, so I apologize for the late night posting, but before I went to bed I wanted to share with you this very encouraging story I found on CBN.com.
