Please pray....

This story has made national news this morning....
Our former church here in town has always supported this ministry, and I have heard Pat Klein speak. It's AMAZING what he and his group have done, and how the Lord has protected them over and over again!
Please pray for their safety, and that these bibles will be returned to them, or bless SOMEONE, regardless!

Oh Barb, my heart is heavy. I am so burdened for China right now. I also heard that the Chinese pastor who was involved in the Voice of the Martyrs' "Pray for China" bracelet has been arrested, along with his wife.

We will pray for these people.

Hey Barb
very interesting story, I can`t understand why they confiscated those bibles if there is a right for religious freedom... I`ll pray for them, too and hope that they`ll give back those bibles as soon as possible! Thank you for sharing, it was also a very good training for my reading comprehension to read an original report.

Have a great week! Nadi

This is so sad! When I hear a story like this, it reminds me how blessed we are with the freedoms that we have in this country. God bless this group of faithful servants!

I had read this story earlier in the week and was surprised to hear that this group came from Wyoming. Now I learn that you know these people personally, and my heart just grieves. The fact that you know them doesn't change anything, but it definitely makes the story more personal. What brave people!

I had just heard tid bits of this story this week, so thank you for the link. It is very very sad. I remember when we were getting ready to travel to China, we were warned (by our agency) to only take our own personal Bible, and not a bulk of Bibles or they could be taken and we could get in trouble. I will pray for their safety...it is very troubling, and makes me SO thankful we live in America!!!!!!
