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: 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,

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:

child logic: waitress vs. God

That sounds like something my 6 year old would say! Malachi 3:10-12 (King James Version) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
