The persecuted church

Di d you know, if you are a believer in Jesus, you are on Al Qaeda's radar?
They (the ISI) have declared:"All Christian centers, organizations, and institutions, leaders and followers, are legitimate targets for the mujahedeen wherever they can reach them." A splinter group of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), made the foregoing statement.
They had just attacked and killed 64 people, and wounded about 300. This is 2010. This occurred in approximately the past month in Baghdad, Iraq.
Please pray for the people who follow Jesus around the world who are being attacked, persecuted, threatened, intimidated, and killed for their faith. Pray they will remain faithful to Christ, courageous, and filled with love. Pray they will bring honor to the name of Jesus as they live, or die, for Him. Pray you and we can find ways to encourage and support them in their faith.
