Hope

This morning we had our church carol service and due to the snow we walked down to the town, it was a beautiful walk and a lovely way to begin the day. My husband spoke about the Hope we have in Christ.

"For everything that was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scripture we might have hope." Romans 15:4

Internation Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church

'You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them and listen to their cry.'

Psalm 10:17

Today is the Internation Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.There are many countries in the world today where Christians are martyred for their faith. We in the West are blessed that we are able to worship and fellowship with other Christians as and when we want to. I am thankful to  organisations such as Release International, Open Doors and Barnabus Fund for bringing news of what they do to help Christians who are persecuted for their faith.
