In Nigeria, Christian persecution rose by 60% last year and nearly half of Christians killed for their faith worldwide were killed in Nigeria.
Our brothers and sisters need our prayers.

Prayers appreciated. My family and I are going through a time of testing. May we be faithful and experience anew the faithfulness of God. Physical healing for my daughter, healing of difficult relationships in extended family, and that we grow more in the likeness of Christ as we look to Him, are some of the petitions I'm lifting to the throne of grace.

It may feel as though life has slowed down during all the lockdowns and restrictions the past year, but BTJ missionaries are still faithfully taking the Gospel into the most unreached nations in the world.
Our prayers are a vital part of their work. Would you take time to pray for them today?

Why watchman née was arrested part a:

“On this day in 1952, Watchmen Nee was arrested and charged as a lawless capitalist. The communist media informed the world of the “crimes of Watchmen Nee,” citing many hundreds of alleged crimes and vices.

Among his crimes: He envisioned evangelizing all of China in the 1930s. He relentlessly encouraged Shanghai Christians to share their faith. His words were hard to ignore: ‘Because you are not witnessing, many have not heard the Gospel. They will be eternally separated from God. What a consequence of our apathy! This is my challenge to you. Witness to at least one person a day. Witness to whomever you meet. It is time for us to put feet to our faith.’ “

People of God...thank you for your love and support!
I'm home not too well...to be honest. Need to rest much...but I'm getting stronger...but must take it very very easy.

I have to be honest, as I "briskly" walk the streets here, the anger of my presence is palpable and is made vocal with hisses and unintelligible comments, but the love of Christ is greater. Hate is the sign of darkness and the greater the darkness the greater the need for the love of Christ. The carnal mind rejects the idea of sacrificial love but the enemy's aggression against it is a testimony to its power.

For those that wondering about @Olamide, and where he had gone, he's asked me to let you know he's been in hospital these past 29 days. He's had two major surgeries, and is now home - let out on Good Friday.

Can you join me and of pray for his full, and complete, recovery! He needs to take things easy for quite a while.

I wanted to say more, before, but didn't until I had spoken with him - and got his permission to share this.

I think @MaryMamuzich you were one of the ones asking after him, but I couldn't find your post to reply to it on his behalf.

I'll have another look in a minute...

Missionaries in Myanmar: PART 1
“Dear loving Brethren,
I am writing this Report with a broken and trembling heart.My eye is filled with sadness and tears of hurt. First of all I want to beg you to pray for our safety and protection.
The military has taken control and is killing civilians. Everyday we needed to collect dead bodies on the road with tears and pains.Banks are being shut down, and it isn’t easy to get online.
Everywhere is filled with smoke and fire as factories are burned and destroyed.Thousands of people don’t have work,food,and a place to stay now.Almost all of our church members ran back to their village. There is neither market nor a shop where we can buy food because every road is blocked.How long will we last if it continues like this!?
Just a while ago, the soldiers’ truck came and stopped near our house. We were terrified; they captured six people who were having tea in the shop. God is my only Hope.

Annika : 7.5 months ❤️❤️❤️

URGENT:

Urgent. Pray right away. I (mom) woke up to find Joshua laying beside me - in the middle of a seizure. His don’t shake. Instead he loses body control and can’t move or talk and his heart races etc. so they are basically silent with zero movement. And dangerous because of his type. Christina rushed to take over care of him while I went and mixed the emergency meds. Time is important.

We have given him his emergency medication. And see some small improvement already. But please pray if you see this.🥺🥺🥺🥺

@Berrybunchfamily @Asianking thank you for asking & praying. I just talked to Lisa. She will be having the baby April 8th. I'll be flying to Salt Lake City April 7th. There will be a team for Lisa and one for the baby. They are preparing for the worst case... I'm praying for the best case!! So everything is unknown until Lisa is opened up. I know our Father works miracles in secret places! Thank you for your prayers and love!

Life for Christians in China is a whole lot like it was many years ago. Now they must truly count the cost!

For all of you living in Free Countries..... remember those who are in bonds around the world for their faith ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

Dear Lord send out a new generation of "Gladys Aylwards" into the harvest fields, Amen. @sinbach @bethany

Please pray for my mom, she is in hospital in South Africa with breathing problems, she have Covid. Family is not allowed to see her.

@lauralynn hello. I’m just now seeing this message. Thanks for checking in on me. Even through the pain Ive experienced the love of God. My church family has been beautiful & poured love over me & my 13yr. old daughter.💜

Please pray for my son Brandon for healing!!!!

He needed to get a nose blockage opening surgery and tonsils out as he had a problem that was making him quite sick and there were no other options. 😭 The pain is unreal- having both done at the same time.

He has been experiencing a VERY DIFFICULT time. I feel so badly for him. He is trying to be as cheerful as he can while bleeding from his nose and phlegm from the mouth and the pain of both surgeries. He also has fever.

Someone asked if there is anything that they can do to help and yes...there will be extra costs involved for him, and as you know because of a severe lockdown here in China, he has been unable to work. So, if you feel led to help it would take a weight if worry off his mind ❤️ As a family man with two little babies and wife.

@MarcusJ65

Marcus, you have my sympathy and my prayers.

If anyone has some prayers to spare, please send prayers for my niece. She is 40 with 3 young children and they have been unable to diagnose what is wrong except possibly some sort of autoimmune deficiency. Mayo Clinic has run a ton of tests as have others.The pain when she eats is incredible so she cannot eat and cannot keep food down. This has been two years. She is barely hovering above 100 pounds.
