Hey guys, here are some reminders for this week:
Question of the week:
1. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Why?
2. What has God been doing in your life?
A Recap on Sunday's Message:
Background
More Christians tortured this past 100 years for their faith than in all previous centuries
Martyrs this past 100 years more than all who died in 20th century wars
More than 100 million martyred for faith in Jesus last 100 years
Persecution has increased since the fall of Communism
Reason in rise of persecution is the growth of Islam
#1. Even Apostle Paul was deserted
#2. Apostle Paul needed an encourager
Three things we can do for persecuted believers:
a. Pray daily
b. Read Fox's Book of Martyrs
c. Remember persecuted believers by signing up at:
1) persecution.org
2) opendoorusa.org
3) idop.org
#3 The encourager will be known and blessed
Here are the announcements for this week:
HS CORE & Chris
"Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." (Hebrews 13:3)
