Every day in countries run by Islam and communists there are Christians being persecuted for their faith. Sometimes they are even tortured or killed. The reality is that here in America, Christians have got it a lot easier by and large than in places like the middle east, north and east Africa, parts of Asia, Columbia, and other places. We owe it to these Christians to pray for them and to help them, don't we?
Here is a link to a ministry dedicated to serving the persecuted church worldwide. Please browse their site and read about the trials and tribulations of Christians in oppressive regimes. Please pray for these people: http://www.persecution.com
