Persecuted Christians

Lately, I've been reading about the persecution that  many believers face on a daily basis -simply because they believe in Christ. Some people think that persecution only happened in the days of the Bible but there are thousands of Christians living today that are suffering for the Gospel's sake.

One ministry, Open Doors, distributes Bibles and literature to persecuted Christians, and works to inform Christians living in "free" countries about the suffering that our brothers and sisters in Christ are going through. Open Doors was started by Brother Andrew, author of God's Smuggler and they provide news and information on Christians living in countries that suppress the Gospel. Here's a video on Open Doors' YouTube page that highlights the trying circumstances that many Christians face in North Korea:



Please remember to pray for these Christians, that they will remain encouraged and be given strength to endure, even when their surroundings and circumstances are most difficult and discouraging.

"...brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you."
~2 Thessalonians 3:1
