Today, bloggers are asked to show support for those attempting to bring democracy to their land. The Burmese people have undergone tremendous suffering, torture and death because of their ideals. It is my prayer that a peaceful resolution will be found before too many others lose their lives.
And yet, the gospel is not bound! Even if our government were to shut down Internet access and round up those who stood for Biblical principles, the gospel would never be bound. In fact, the Gospel seems to thrive best in times of difficulty.
Pray for those Burmese people affected in Myanmar and around the globe. Pray for those who are ministering the Gospel to them. Pray for your own sense of urgency about sharing the Gospel. Expect difficulty; it is the soil best suited for the seeds of eternal life.
UPDATE from Voice of the Martyrs:
Pray for Christians being affected by the continued unrest in Myanmar. The government is targeting anyone with influence, and churches have not been spared. VOM contacts report, "Churches cannot meet. We are quietly meeting in small groups of no more than five to pray for our country. China reports five people have been killed, the BBC is saying about 10 have been killed, but our people have seen hundreds of bodies and many more filling the hospitals." Pray for the protection and safety of Christians in Myanmar. Pray the Holy Spirit will convict the hearts of the government officials and that the testimony of believers will draw others into fellowship with Jesus Christ. Psalm 27:1; Joshua 1:9
