scripture
II Timothy 4: 16-18
At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
quote
I thank God for our youth pastor. He taught us from day one: “To accept Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing and forgiveness of sins. There is nothing you can add to it. But you need to understand that when you do that your life is over. You have no more rights. You do not have the right to live out your dream, your goal, your ambition, or your plan for your life. You must walk away. You cannot accept Him and hold on to those things [of this world] that motivate and energize you. It cannot be done. He comes in as the Lord Jesus Christ. He does not come in as extra baggage. He will not be added to your life. He comes in to take over or He does not come in.”

Chinese and American Christian Leaders in Xinjiang - China Aid Association
On April 19, 2007, more than 30 house-church leaders and four American Christians were arrested in Xinjiang province. China Aid Association (CAA) reports the four Americans are still in an undisclosed hotel for questioning and the PSB confiscated their luggage. Eight Chinese pastors received criminal detention papers for 30 days detention and were accused of being "suspects involved in evil cult activities." Eye witnesses told CAA that at least two of the arrested were seen with bleeding noses and bruises on their faces because of torture during interrogations. Pray for the pastors in prison and for their families. Ask God to protect them as they face pending charges. www.persecution.com
