Persecution Awareness Month

In November we’ve been highlighting the persecuted church around the world, and there are some real ways to get informed and actively involved through the internet.  Here are a few links to get you started:

www.PrisonerAlert.com Users can impact the world for the cost of postage and printing a letter off their printer.  Features (usually) one new prisoner a month.   There are over 100,000 people world-wide, who have signed up to receive regular monthly updates from this site, and who have agreed to pray for and write to the people whose profiles we present.   Letters are composed in the language of the recipient, right on the site.   We were told never to expect the release of a prisoner through our efforts.   However, after running this site for about five years, and featuring roughly 60 prisoners, 18 of them have been released, and most of the rest report better treatment at the hands of their captors.   This is a ministry of The Voice of the Martyrs  — US.

www.BiblesUnbound.com An opportunity to participate in shipping of New Testaments into restricted nations.   For users outside of the US, participation is by means of the “virtual operation” option only.   In the US, families, youth groups and others count it a great privilege to pack these Bibles, preparing them for shipment into the restricted country, where they are then dropped into the local mail system, so that they arrive at their final destination with a local postmark.    There’s a video on the site, that explains the process.   This is another VOM-US ministry.

If this leads you to get involved, we’d love to hear from you.  Just post a comment on this post and let people know about your experience.

Forgiveness – Upcoming Adult Class

Forgiveness – Forgiving the Difficult Transgressions

This class will study the steps involved in forgiving those hurts that are more serious and more difficult to forgive.  We will investigate the true meaning of forgiveness and “eradicate” some myths around the act of forgiving.  The process of forgiveness, and it is a process,  begins with a decision; an act of the will based on Jesus’ command to do so.  We choose to forgive because it is the right thing to do even though  we may not “feel like it”.

Because this class is a short series people attending are encouraged to attend all sessions if at all possible.

Walter

This class starts Sunday March 22 at 9:30am in the Mayfair Room
