When people in our country hear the word "persecution", they think of Christians being tortured or sent to prison. But one of the harshest and most common forms of persecution faced by Christians is being denied basic services, by the government, by neighbors, and even by families.

In a Communist country like Vietnam, certain goods and services are available only through the government. Several Christians report that as they are denied these things, officials and villagers have taunted them by saying, "Let your god save you!" or "Ask your pastor for help".


Warmly in Christ,
Pastor Foley and Dr. Foley


The Chinese government now sees elderly church members as a threat!

It seems absurd to think of a small prayer group full of grandmothers as dangerous.

But the Chinese government may in fact be right!

Older Christians tend to be very committed to their faith and far better at sharing the gospel than their younger counterparts.

We've been busy distributing audio Bibles to North Koreans in Northeast China and in North Korea!

For most of the NKs who received these, it's their first time hearing/seeing the Bible. Here is what one NK said after listening to the audio Bible:

We listen to our MP3s in bed every night on the bed. It echoes in my ears, as if someone is telling me stories. We listen to it every day. We are going to walk in one way. Comrades, let us hold hands and live to follow God’s will.

Pray for more NKs to be raised up as leaders in China, Russia, Thailand and Laos. As NK’s receive discipleship training and mature in the faith, we can appoint them as interns or workers at our discipleship bases. It is very exciting to have NKs reaching out and ministering to other NKs. 
 
Pray for our partners who will soon have a baby. This couple runs an NK discipleship base, and are in the third trimester of pregnancy but are unable to find a midwife. Pray that God would provide this husband/wife team with sufficient birth care.
