This week, as we think about Christmas and all that it entails, let's not forget to stop and remember our brothers and sisters around the world who are being persecuted for their faith in Christ. Many of them -- like Asia -- will be spending Christmas away from their families in a cold prison cell. Christmas is about Christ, a message which these precious people suffer daily for as they labor to spread the Gospel. Pakistan in particular, as you know, needs our prayers right now. Our family is suffering greatly, but they will not stop spreading this message of Christ -- of Christmas -- no matter what the cost! Let's pray. Let's remember.
I saw this and although I know that some of my followers may not appreciate glitter and pink, it does convey a great message in every area, but especially pertaining to our prayers for the persecuted:
~ "Remembering those in chains as though chained with them, and those who are mistreated since you yourselves also are in the body." ~ Hebrews 13:3

Persecution blog to see what one recently released Pakistani Christian has to say about Pakistan's blasphemy laws and hear her beautiful prayer for Asia Bibi.
