Last week the “The War on Christians” was on the cover of Newsweek. The article inside “The Global War on Christians in the Muslim World” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali tells of how Christians are persecuted throughout the Muslim world and the mainstream media remains mostly silent. Let me strongly encourage you to read this article to better understand what many of our brothers and sisters in Christ face daily. May the Spirit move your hearts to compassion for fellow believers so that you will cry out to the Lord on their behalf and may some of you be moved to action.
Please pray for TWR as we are trying to address these issues both in Nigeria and the new South Sudan. There are no easy fixes and the Muslim / Christian lines are also tribal lines so in addition to the Christian / Muslim conflict there is also tribal conflict. Pray that the Lord will provide the needed resources (spiritual, personnel and financial).
On a personal note, please pray for my health. I have had another bout with Malaria this weekend and a hand injury that shows signs of infection.
