Let's Begin...To UNDERSTAND.

Then he said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.” - Luke 9:23-27


Since I was a little girl I never really thought about the persecuted church. I thought everyone went to church and believed in God just like me and my family. The older I got, the more I realized the truth of religion. I was always up for a challenge and I sure did get one. In June of  2010, I received a Kingdom Worker's Card at CIY. The card said to study about the persecuted church and to share the information, and find a way to help the persecuted.


I was up for the challenge. As word went around of my challenge, people were backing me up and supporting me. The more I studied through scripture, reading stories, and searching the internet; I find myself loving, and caring, more and more everyday. Wanting to help them in every way possible!


I organized a day of prayer on the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church at the youth service, and I organized a fundraiser for care packages for the child and missionaries in India during the Christmas season. We raised over $300 and was 1 of 8,286 donors in the US. God rocks!


Now I am working on another possible fundraiser for Bibles and Christian Literature in China. But today, my heart is saddened for the Christians in China who could not celebrate and worship on Easter Sunday (more info in my next coming blog).


Until next time, may God bless you and your family; and please keep our brothers and sisters in your prayers, for they are keeping us in their's.
