The SG Notebook

I draw your attention to two Chinese heroes.

Church Leader Cai Zhuohua was apparently released from prison on September 10th. Pray for his safety now that he is out. Pray for courage for this man.

Apparently news was released today of the illness of another prisoner. Pastor Zhang Rongliang is experiencing failing health, according to reports. He has been through so much already, and now there is the possibility that he could die in prison, as he has four more years to go. Could you please bring his name before the throne of grace as it comes to your mind?

Pray for the believers in this country. Pray for the unbelievers–that the Lord would even use the testimonies of these to men to draw the lost to Himself.Go to the Persecution Blog for more news about suffering saints.

We are all thankful for the release of the hostages. Yes, I know there is controversy surrounding it, but we can rejoice nonetheless.

However, the persecution of Christians continues, the battle goes on. This occurs on many fronts and in many ways. Keep the prayers going for the ongoing work of the Church.

Our homeschooling year has begun and until I settle in, the work of SG suffers a bit. There has been somewhat of a lull in book sales, which is the doing of God, I’m sure. I need the time.

New publications are coming, but slowly. We’ll do our best to keep things moving towards that end.

The Christian Heroes posts will not be made weekly anymore, only as time permits. I have been quite captivated by the fact that so many heroes are still being made in our day and age. Some have been slain, but new recruits are emerging. Praise the Lord.
