  1. International Outreach Team Preparing to be Martyrs for Jesus

  2. Persecution around the world • India- Pastor arrested for Baptizing Muslims. Khanna spent 40 days in prison. “I had the strange experience of boldness and believed the Lord had given me a job, and I did it with grace,” Khanna said • Pakistan- Asia Bibi, if you haven’t signed the petition yet, go online to Persecution.com and look up Prisoner Alerts and request that our sister in Christ be released to her family. • Laos- A 24-year-old Lao pastor was found dead in the forest in July, and Christians believe he was murdered. Thong Hak, of the Khmu tribe, left his village on a Friday to go hunting. When he didn’t show up to preach in his church on Sunday, believers began to search for him and soon found his body in the forest covered in blood. • Afghanistan- Among the ongoing difficulties facing believers in Afghanistan are ridicule in the workplace, dismissal from jobs for being non-Muslim and the inability to find a Christian marriage partner. Thank God for his work among the Afghan people, and pray that their witness will bear much fruit.
