I don't know why the poster has to reveal what organization the poster is working with and in what religion the poster belongs. And besides that, the opponent may be lurking at forums like this and trying to gather information about the poster.

 

As far as I am concerned there is no security risk in someone with a ' pen name' posting they work with open doors in the near east and they would value prayers, if we want more information see the open door website for the near east.

 

That they are unwilling to do that makes me suspicious.

Because she wanted to inform of conditions. Because she wanted us to pray. Because she needs Christian fellowship.

Imagine for a minute you are over there. Now tell us everything about who you work for and where you are........right.

 

Read my request again. I have not asked for there name, country or address, just what organisation and region, like barnabus fund in the eastern russian regions.

But here the thing: Not everyone has your concerns or the extent of them.

I have no need to read it again. 

Ask yourself why anyone would be coming here to make these things up? Unless they are asking for funds and using a story to get them, but this person HAS NOT asked for a penny. All she asked for was prayer and she was attacked for being here and not giving enough info, yet I noticed you don't chose to disclose anything here about yourself, no pic. No nothing. Who do YOU work for? Where do YOU live? See where I'm going with this>?

We know for a fact our knuckle head president suddenly pulled out of a country leaving large stashes of military gear there and people hanging on for dear life at the mercy of the Taliban, or do we so easily forget people were left with no way to get back home???

So every report by missionary organisations  leads extremist to the homes of Christians in Islamic countries.

That is what you are implying.

We still don't know why you need to know the name of any organization that the poster is associated with.

Can you give us your home address to satisfy our nosiness?

Who in the world would give anyone on the Worthy their home address?

I think he is trying to make a point.

What do you fear might happen if people knew where you lived? 

In the case of Estera who is probably in a country hostile to believers things are different.

You are quite right that believers in the free world also have hardships to endure and overcome… but at least we aren’t threatened with death and torture on a continuous, daily basis.  It’s on another level tbh.  Though, of course it’s all relative and I’m not trying to minimize what others have had to endure.  But I do sometimes think the Western church needs a bit of a wake-up call. 

I personally believe that having people hunting down your family to torture, rape and kill them because they BELIEVE in the words of GOD,
IS on a WAY DIFFERENT LEVEL than ANY PROBLEM facing someone in a country THAT protects the rights of everyone to freely worship as they will.   

Breaks my heart to hear you trying to equate what you are witnessing take place IN THE NAME OF GOD, with the 'personal' problems of those in the world NOT dealing with anything close to that.  

WHY won't the western church open it eyes and acknowledge?  PRE TRIB theory states THEY WILL BE RAPTURED AWAY before such persecution takes place.  HOW can they be raptured away before if it is ALREADY happening?   

Come the GWTJ, the books are going to be opened.  THERE HAS TO BE WRITING IN THOSE BOOKS powerful enough to END, forever and ever, a life that GOD Himself created.  IF those who are evil DON'T have anything written,  then they could end up in the NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH with us.  SO we suffer now, so that GODS PLAN, for a life too wonderful for our words to describe, will be possible at the end of it all. 

I think knowing your persecutions have MEANING far greater than we can understand, helps. And knowing the rewards for living and dying IN AND FOR HIS NAME last FOR EVER.  


Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

 

2 Thessalonians 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

2 Thessalonians 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

 

2Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

2Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Many prayers for you.  God bless

If you are aware of how the Nazi's treated the Jews in World War 2 the Christians will be treated worse in the 7 year tribulation. And with todays technology it will be more difficult to hide.
