Pastor Rick Warren travelling to North Korea!
What a wonderful God we serve. A God that answers out prayer! It was recently announced that Pastor Rick Warren of the best-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life" is to visit North Korea in March 2007 to preach! Here is the story.
Also, see how life is like for Christians in North Korea from this interview.

Please continue to pray to The Lord that Rick Warren may be used for his purposes. Also thank Him that he has presented this opportunity.

PLEASE PRAY FOR NORTH KOREA NEXT WEEK!

Hello my fellow Christians. As I was watching CNN today they once again highlighted the plight of people living in North Korea and the dire situation that many find themselves in living in that country. Under the brutal dictatorship of Kim Jong Il the people are suffering from starvation, political, and religious persecution. The basic human freedoms that we all enjoy are greatly non-existant in North Korea. Christians also live in great fear for their lives under the iron fist of Kim Jong Il.
As I watched the CNN Presents feature, I was wondering what I could do for the people of that nation and it just hit me that I should pray very hard for those people. So I would like to request that you all join me this upcoming week for the whole week to get on your knees and pray and pray for the people living in North Korea. Pray for their health, safety, that they may get food and also that the Gospel will penetrate into that country to free them from their shackles. God has promised us in his Word that He will hear all our prayers and cries.

Colossians 4:
2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Romans 12:
11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

Christians offer their arresting officers chairs to sit!

On June 9, 2006 ten Saudi Arabian police raided a Christian worship meeting in the coastal city of Jeddah. Four East African leaders of the service were arrested. More than 100 Ethiopians, Eritreans and Filipinos were gathered for worship there at 11 a.m. The worshippers gave the policemen chairs to seat and they proceeded to wait for the service to end still clutching their clubs. At the end of the service, two Ethiopians, Mekbeb Telahun and Masai Wendewesen and Eritreans Fekre Gebremedhin and Dawit Uqbay were arrested and put in the city’s deportation jail. They are reportedly doing fine, but it isn’t known how long they will be in there.

Four men have been arrested in Moroni, Comoros for their “involvement in Christianity,” according to a June 14th report by Open Doors. The arrests took place after a complaint by the brother of 15 yr old Christian who was angry that his brother abandoned Islam. The young Christian told police, “I am a follower of Jesus and study the Bible.” They also arrested the Bible study leader and his wife when she came to visit him in jail. She was later released but the four men were jailed for three months. In Comoros, a small three-island nation off the east coast of Africa, freedom of religion is guaranteed in the constitution, but the three church buildings in the nation are restricted to foreigners only.

TODAY, PLEASE PRAY FOR YOUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ACROSS THE WORLD.
