Thankful for Religious Freedom
In many countries throughout the world, Christians must worship the Lord in silence, cut off from other believers because of dangerous political climates that condone persecution of those who do not agree with their agendas.

Myanmar: Miracle Turns Buddhist to Christ
Buddhist extremists have long persecuted Christians in Myanmar, often quite violently. Gawa (not her real name), a staunch Buddhist, also grew up hating Christians, even though many in her tribe had come to Christ.
