Yesterday, we prayed for North Korea, where between 300,000 and 500,000 Christians follow Jesus secretly. “Any North Korean caught following Jesus is at immediate risk of imprisonment, brutal torture, and/or death,” states Open Doors. An estimated 50,000 to 70,000 Christians are imprisoned in labor camps and prisons. In addition, North Koreans have been facing death byContinue reading “Letters Smuggled Out of North Korea”

Going Coup Coup
This weekend, Burkina Faso fell to its second coup this year. In fact, six coups in two years have rocked West Africa and surrounding countries, mostly due to pervading poverty, hunger and uncurbed violence by Muslim extremists, warring tribes, and national militia. These coups have yet to “fix” the problems of West Africa, and as IContinue reading “Going Coup Coup”
Pray for Myanmar’s Children
A Myanmar military helicopter fired at a school in central Sagain Region, Myanmar, killing at least six children and wounding another 17 last week.

Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar
Since a military coup in Myanmar early last year, thousands of innocent people have died, many of those Christians. Fighting in the mostly Christian Chin State has left countless families homeless and hiding in the jungles, their villages burned, and dozens of churches ransacked, shelled and occupied. Baptist pastor Cung Biak Hum was gunned downContinue reading “Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar”
Let Us Not Grow Weary
Tired of the constant news of bombings, death and atrocities in Ukraine, our war-weary hearts can tend to wane in prayer, aid and even interest. Donations to Christian agencies like SendRelief.org that provide help for Ukrainians in need have a tendency to dwindle the longer the battle continues. But displaced families are still hungry andContinue reading “Let Us Not Grow Weary”

Ceasefire Extended Again in Yemen
A ceasefire agreed upon by warring parties in Yemen April 2 and renewed June 2 was renewed once again August 2.
