PRaYeR ReQueSTS

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you... Yesterday at church we did not have a sermon. Instead a man visited my church and spoke to us about his experiences as a missionary in another country. His wife (only after 2 weeks of them being married) was captured and imprisoned for believing in Christ -- for smuggling Bibles into the country -- for worshipping Him. Oh, how much we -- no -- I take for granted the opportunity that I have to freely read my Bible, worship the Lord, and speak about my beliefs and this lady was tortured for it. She has been set free but cannot leave the country for five years and has an ever-present threat of being put back in prison. I ask that you pray for her safety along with the others just like her in that country and in others who are being persecuted for believing in Christ.
