Praying for Closed Nations
As we pray Isaiah 51:5, for God to bring His righteousness, salvation, justice, and hope in our own nation, let’s also remember the billions throughout the world facing fear and uncertainty in these difficult days, especially in nations closed to the Good News of Christ’s love. Most of these countries are poverty-stricken and war-torn, with oppressiveContinue reading “Praying for Closed Nations”
Fighting for Myanmar
Since a coup seized power from the elected government in Myanmar early last year, security forces have killed more than 1000 people, including at least 35 women, children and other villagers fleeing conflict on Christmas Eve.

Pray for North Korea
Two hypersonic-missile tests claimed to have been “successful” this week serve as a loud reminder to launch our own weapons of prayer (Ephesians 6:10-20) for this Communist country ranked most dangerous in the world for Christians. “Being discovered as a Christian is a death sentence in North Korea. If you aren’t killed instantly, you willContinue reading “Pray for North Korea”

Thanksgiving & Religious Freedom
Originally posted on More Than A Conqueror:
“Bow your head. Close your eyes.” Then comes the prayer, right? In my family, if my Daddy prayed before a meal, it might be cold by the time we got to it. His heartfelt prayers, often with tears, covered the lost without Christ, missionaries throughout the world, persecuted…
Lives Saved in Afghanistan
As we thank God this week for His blessings, let’s also thank Him for answered prayers for Afghanistan, for those who have been rescued from danger and for the courageous people who have been involved in those rescues. Most of these stories cannot be told publicly for security reasons, but here is one beautifully re-writtenContinue reading “Lives Saved in Afghanistan”
Amhara of Ethiopia
