CHINA – The real virus to the Chinese Communist Party: religious freedom
In the latest rampage, large numbers of gunmen stormed the villages of Bakin-Kogi, Idanu The lockdowns and death in China began long before the first case of COVID-19 was ever reported.

Time to Return to Worship
There is a dangerous trend occurring in America towards those who believe in Jesus. It is no coincidence our church doors have been closed and our gatherings have ceased. This is how persecution begins. It often starts small, with an excuse people can buy into, but swiftly begins to morph and grow until people are forced into hiding if they dare call themselves a follower of Christ. We need only look to the persecution of Christians worldwide for an understanding of how dangerous it is to lose our rights. Civil rights gained and defended by the blood of Americans but lost through fear, negligence and inaction will not be easily recovered........Read More
Also, this Sunday is Pentecost. If you can, please attend a service, in person, this Sunday to celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of the church with other believers.
Like the 120 in the upper room in the book of Acts, we are believing there will be a move of the Holy Spirit on Sunday as we come together to worship and pray over our nation, our world and our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Thank you for all you do!
Sincerely, your sister in Christ,
Dede Laugesen
Executive Director
Save the Persecuted Christians
