THEY'RE FREE!

See what happens when the children of God pray?!

Read the email that I received yesterday!
From our friends at ELAM:
------
RELEASED!  Maryam and Marzieh set free after 259 days in prison

Praise the Lord! Maryam Rustampoor and Marzieh Amirizadeh were released from 
Evin prison in Iran today, Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 3:30pm, without bail. 
However, they may yet have to face a court hearing and still need our prayers.

“Words are not enough to express our gratitude to the Lord and to His people who 
have prayed and worked for our release," they said.

Maryam and Marzieh were arrested because of their Christian faith on March 5, 
2009. Though their health has suffered greatly while in prison, they are doing 
as well as could be expected, and are rejoicing in the Lord’s faithfulness to 
them.

“Maryam and Marzieh have greatly inspired us all. Their love for the Lord Jesus 
and their faithfulness to God has been an amazing testimony,” says Sam 
Yeghnazar, Director of Elam Ministries.

We hope to share more details soon.

In the mean time, please pray:

-  For their health to be fully restored.
-  For their continued safety.
-  For their full acquittal.
HALLELUJAH!!! (dance, dance, dance) Let's continue to lift them up before the Lord in prayer! I pray that all of us are strengthened by this powerful testimony! To God be the glory!

Mission: New Tribes

Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things  but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who  actually  want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

Laugh Your Way

Mark Gungor is Senior Pastor of Celebration Church in Wisconsin and the CEO of Laugh Your Way America. When he's not busy with pastoral duties, he's speaker, radio talk show host, and author. Mark says, "I love to inspire people's lives with truth and humor. There are a lot of performers that make people laugh, and there are a lot of speakers who give solid principles for living. I want to do both...Our secular culture over-romanticizes marriage and our Christian culture over spiritualizes it. The reality is that relationships between men and women are very down to earth...Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage® is about helping couples get it right, get along, have fun, and achieve a successful marriage."

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
