Dear Young Christian:
Many of our fellow-believers are really suffering for their faith and testimony in many parts of the world today. Most of our readers live in countries where we enjoy freedom of religion, and we have no fear from the authorities when we carry a Bible, meet for Bible meetings, or share the gospel with others.
Not only do we need to pray for Christians in persecuted countries, but we also need to pray that we, in lands of freedom, will be able to continue to have Bibles and meet freely with out fear of harassment from governments, imprisonment, and death. And that we will be able to freely spread the good news of the gospel, until the Lord Jesus comes. When the Apostle Paul wrote to the young man Timothy, he said: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
