International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church Nov. 4th

Love Costs Everything Movie & Discussion
November 4th 4pm

Come and learn what the Church around world is experiencing.  Be encouraged by their perseverance and faith.  Support them in prayer. (May not be appropriate for younger audiences for violence.  Recommend Middle School and up)

No time in history has been bloodier for Jesus' followers. Throughout the world, Christians are being threatened, beaten, raped and killed simply for being believers. And yet, the American church remains inactive and largely unaware of their sufferings. Christian persecution has been a reality for more than 2,000 years. While tragic, it is not a story of defeat.

---

Instead, those who find themselves in the crosshairs of violence today count it a blessing to stand among the faithful throughout history. In the face of persecution, these followers of Christ fear compromise more than death itself. Love Costs Every Thing maps the history of Christian persecution from the first martyrs to seven present-day stories of faith that knows no price. Filmed in Iraq, Columbia, India, Egypt, France and the United States, this feature-length documentary includes commentary from US Congressmen, foreign government officials, religious leaders and scholars. – IMDB

VOM Angel Tree–LAST WEEK!

Voice of the Martyrs: Christmas Angel Tree – Giving the Gift of Hope and Encouragement

Now – Mid January

Believers, who are imprisoned for their faith, can’t be there for their kids to buy them gifts and to teach and focus them on the reason for the season.  That is where we come in.  When we purchase a Christmas Care package for kids, they see God’s love lived out beyond their family and current circumstances.  When we support villages with the Outreach Kit, we are empowering someone in their own back yard to empower, equip, and encourage believers in their walk with God so that the Kingdom of God is advanced.
