Hebrews 13: 3

Just one short verse today, but it is powerful in the burden that we carry to remember and pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being persecuted because of their faith.

There are so many places in the world where people are tortured, jailed, and even killed for believing in Jesus.

In Sudan:
- Churches are bombed regularly by the Islamic government.
- Christian women’s breasts are removed, keeping them from nursing.
- Slaves are taken and sold to Muslim families.

In China:
- Only Communist government approved churches may meet. All
others are jailed.

In Saudi Arabia:
- Death is the law for a Muslim who converts to Christianity.

It is so easy to be a Christian in the USA. Do not take that for granted! Today, pray for our brothers and sisters in these countries, and also in

Liberia Lebanon Somalia Afghanistan
Sierra Leone Syria North Korea Bangladesh
Nigeria Iraq Pakistan Colombia
Kenya Iran Algeria India
Eritrea Indonesia Libya Cuba
Egypt Viet Nam Malaysia Turkey
