Blog: WHY I STARTED THIS GROUP!

WHY I STARTED THIS GROUP!
I WAS SHOWN AN OLD UNUSED HIGHWAY BY GOD TO WORSHIP GOD. ONE DAY I HAD THIS REALLY STRONG FEELING TO PRAY FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS, SO I BEGAN TO PRAY EVERY DAY FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS. THE MONTHS WENT BY AND STILL I CONTINUED TO PRAY, THEN ONE DAY I FELT I SHOULD GO ON THE INTERNET AND DO SOME SEARCHES AND I WAS TRULY SHOCKED AND DISMAYED. I HAD ALWAYS KNOW THAT THERE WAS PERSECUTION, BUT I DID NOT KNOW THINGS WERE SO TERRIBLY SERIOUS, NOR HAD I KNOWN THAT THE PERSECUTION WAS SO TERRIBLY WIDESPREAD. I FELT I HAD TO TELL PEOPLE, I FELT SUCH A STRONG COMPULSION, THAT I KNEW IT WAS FROM THE LORD. TWO THINGS HAPPENED, NEITHER WHICH I HAD EXPECTED!
1# WHEN I ASKED FOR PRAYER FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS, MANY PEOPLE DID NOT RESPOND WELL, OR THEY DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL.
2# WHEN I TOLD THE PASTORS WHO WROTE TO THESE PRAYER GROUPS FOR HELP, THAT I WOULD PRAY FOR THEM, THEY RESPONDED BY ASKING THAT I HELP THEM.
SO TWO MORE THINGS HAPPENED, I DESIGNED PAMPHLETS TO SEND TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AND I BEGAN THIS GROUP.
THE GROUP GREW QUICKLY, AND I, (BOTH),HAVE HAD SUCCESS AND HAVE MADE SOME MISTAKES! YET I CONTINUE THIS GROUP AND PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN AND THE CHURCH BUILDERS AND PASTORS FROM COUNTRIES WHERE BOTH PERSECUTION, AND POVERTY EXIST.
GOD HAS OPENED UP SOME DOORS FOR ME TO DO THIS WORK, AND I PRAY THAT THOSE WHO HAVE ALSO BEEN LED HERE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO REMAIN STEADFAST IN THEIR SUPPORT OF THE PERSECUTED CHRISTIAN! WITH CHRIST'S LOVE!
YOUR SISTER IN CHRIST,
DONNA
