For many Christians around the World who are being persecuted for the their faith in Christ. There continues to be an ongoing season against Christians.
Campus Crusade for Christ in Columbia reports that a staff member was murdered several days ago and the the office of Campus Crusades was robbed. The perpetrators have not yet been caught. Also the same day the office of Campus Crusade for Christ in Brazil was robbed where tens of thousands of dollars in computers and office equipment was stolen.
In a closed country in the Middle East, the local newspaper ran this article: “They should close all churches and kick out all Christian workers….” Christians are being harassed at the airport by having their passport taken by the “secret police”.
In Darfur in the Sudan, Christians are being murdered by the thousands BUT church plants are growing by the hundreds.
Certain States in Russia are also being harassed over passports and making it difficult for any foreigner to stay any length of time in the states of Russia
Jews for Jesus reports much harassment from Orthodox Jews when they try to hand out their Broadsides which is Christian literature about Jesus. The Jews for Jesus people are being surrounded by riotous people primarily Jews who scream and yell, missionary, missionary, missionary and will shout down any work the Jews for Jesus are doing. This is happening in Israel.
Columbia continues to have much unrest and threats are being given to the Christians as the government itself is in turmoil.
