Today our church had a street service near downtown Bessemer. We sang a few songs and Bro. Bertram preached a short message. We had an altar call and one man came forward to pray. You could deinitely feel God's presence there.
I am thankful to live in a country where there is freedom of religion. The message of Jesus Christ is illegal in many countries, including parts of India. The persecution against Christians in India mainly occurs in the state of Orissa. While in India, I watched a short video of Christians being killed in Orissa. It was not a hollywood version either. It was raw filming by a journalist who secretly recorded the killings and somehow managed to get the video past the authorities without getting killed. Also, I met one of the Bible students, Samir, who pastors a church in Orissa. Another young man, Subrat, is praying and fasting for many people to be won as a result of a Bible study entitled Baptism which has now been printed in Oriya language of India and soon to be distributed in Orissa. These young men face death on a daily basis.
Oh, about that video I watched in India? I found it on YouTube. Viewer discretion is strongly advised. Prayer on behalf of the Christians in India is highly recommended.
