I haven’t updated the blog lately. But there has been a lot
going on. I have returned to my studies at Liberty University. My wife and I
are getting ready to roll out in June and, Lord willing, that will begin our
full-time missionary work here in the U.S. We are also in training as Representatives
for Voice of the Martyrs. So as we spread the Gospel we will also be helping to
spread the word about our brothers and sisters in Christ who are being
persecuted for the Faith. The objective of VOM in general is to help those who
face “real” persecution for the name of Jesus. We in America are so far blessed
not to be persecuted. But as members of the body of Christ we must help those
members who suffer for their faith. The theme verse for VOM is Hebrews 13:3, “Remember
them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as
being yourselves also in the body”. We are all a part of God’s family. And as
members of the same family we have to stand up for each other. We can do much
to help the persecuted members. And the first thing we can do is to pray for
them. They don’t ask for the persecution to end. They ask for strength to
endure, love to forgive and faith to continue to witness to and pray for their
persecutors. What great faith we see when faith is given a real test. Pray for
us. Pray for them. And if you are interested in learning more go to their

Thanks and may the Lord bless you much.
