I have been spending some time focussing on the secret children of the persecuted church. More then praying, rather trying to comprehend their struggles. Nothing can illustrate that which they go through.
Something dawned on me regarding their freedom. Even though paradoxical, I believe they experience an unknown freedom of faith. Many, with limited knowledge, proclaim their faith that God is who He says He is, and will do what He says He will do.
These children and persecuted brothers and sisters are the ones who should be praying for us who so easily become comfortable in the pursuit to live out the Good News against all worldly odds. They do not bicker about useless thoughts, they rather hold on to and live the truth they know.
The Bible as Word of God is our main source to knowing God, one we easily forget the value of. Many of the persecuted may not even own one, while others go to great lengths to share the tattered and torn pieces of the one's they as community group have.
This December there will be a group of South Africans going to Malawi to deliver Bibles to families and communities, in their own languages. This group is in need of our support. Other then joining the group in visiting our brothers and sisters there, the need for financial support to purchase the Bibles is great.
From 8 - 20 December 2011, a group of 6 will be setting out to deliver Bibles to the worth of R82 500 throughout Malawi. Now R30 000 is still needed. Please pray for the group as they prepare and set out on their mission.
For more information or if you wish to join the group, please contact Peter at petjhattin@gmail.com.

May these persecuted brothers and sister keep us in their prayers as they continue to fight the good fight for the Good News that we may need to hear. May our eyes be opened to what faith looks like.
