Martyr's song (by Fisheclectic)

I stand before You with no fear inside
I'm not misguided, not insane
Your weapons cannot take the life I have
And your death blow is my gain

I look into his eyes
(Take his wounded hand)
Here's the end of time
(And you've been faithful till the end)

Your swords of hatred do not bother me
No evil deed and no disgrace
With all your threatening my heart cries for you
As my Savior calls my name

I look into his eyes
(Take his wounded hand)
Here's the end of time
(And you've been faithful till the end)

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter how terrible and frightening for both "Andrew" and his family!!
I pray the Lord is with him as He was with Joseph when his brother threw him in the pit. May Andrew draw nearer to Christ and know God's hand is a strong shield.

@Kruselady @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter @MaryMamuzich @zephan Thank you! We are all doing much better. We are still having some coughs, but the main lingering symptom is fatigue. I hope this too will pass soon, but God has been SO good to us. Thank you so much, each of you, for your prayers! He certainly has sent forth His Word and healed us.

We are so excited to share about our new BTJ ministry center in the Middle East
https://backtojerusalem.com/btjs-new-middle-east-ministry-center/

lives are being transformed...
“I now understand the way I feel is okay. I was challenged to state where I stand in this relationship. I would tell younger couples always take time to get to know the individual that you choose to spend your life with.”

“I was just sitting there thinking how the Lord Jesus sent you to go through the book, Learning to Live with Fences. I just turned 18 last month-been hospitalized more than 10 times-6 times I attempted suicide and 4 times for unusual behavior-each admissions was 3 to 4 months. I felt depressed, hopeless, neglected by my parents, suicidal. You helped me to cope when you studied and counseled me doing a better job, better than the doctors & nurses themselves.”

“I haven’t been studying the Word. Now I study the Word more, I get more understanding & do a lot of praying & telling others about God.”

“I was so scared with COVID-19, but this is what I prayed for. It was so clear-I took what you taught us & help my friends in their conflicts.”

@moamfj I’m glad you made it through all of that. I also tried to kill myself and ended up with a bad head fracture. Thankfully God gave me my life back. I’m trying to stay close to Him now.

I honestly don't know if it's a good or bad idea to join NATO when you have a long border to Russia. It's very provocative from the Russian point of view. The biggest problem for Finland is and has always been Russia - that's sad, because it's a well functioning, western, democratic country that's been set as an example and ranked the best country in the world in several rankings. I don't blame ordinary Russians, but the Russian power, that has ruled, threatened and killed my forefathers throughout history. That made my parents' generation fatherless - by physical or emotional death. We haven't totally recovered yet.

#Afghanisthan #Turkey
*Andrew (name changed for security) is an Afghan teenage believer from the Pashtun tribe with a death threat on his life to join the Taliban. During the US evacuation last summer he was separated from his family and fled Afghanistan which landed him up in Istanbul Turkey illegally where he was rescued by our own A n B couple.took Andrew into their home and have been working on getting him the documentation he needs to reunite with his family and go to the US for school. Last week while A n B were out in eastern Turkey, the police located Andrew in Istanbul, took him into custody and moved him to another eastern city in what appears to be a deportation effort. Andrew is currently in a city near the Iran border
Would you urgently join us in praying (and mobilizing prayer) that the Lord would intervene and rescue Andrew from being deported or abducted and returned back to A n B's home. Let’s pray that the plans the Lord has for Andrew’s life would be fulfilled!

@Cherishingsparrows2020 How are you and the family? Praying for you. Agreeing with @MaryMamuzich @zephan @Kruselady your prayers for Cherishing Sparrows.

@Lanka4Jesus Glad to know John is recovering. Praying for your wife as well. Is she still at the hospital or discharged?

Pray for the unborn! We are at a critical crossroads in the US. The only hope for this world is Jesus.

Thank you to all who have prayed for my family during this round of Covid. We are doing better. We're not yet fully well, but I wanted to let you know that we're improving. We appreciate the prayer and believe it is making a real difference in our recovery. May God bless you!

Seriously, this felt like my day today.
Forgot credit card at restaurant, had to drive back 6 hours to get it.
Health insurance wants to drop us because we are not in China and wife needs both knees replaced.
Son in bootcamp calls today, but can't get through because WIFI is weak. So we missed our first call in 2 weeks.
US ESTA visa can't make distinguishing marks so my wife's security clearance to attend son's graduation in June won't go through because we don't know was one of the digits on the visa an "l" (little L) and "I" (capital I) or a "1"
I can identify with this pic so much today.

Please pray for 'Mark' a nominal Christian, without Salvation experience. He is diagnosed with some stomach ailments.
