My Way News - Iran rounds up Christians in crackdown
My Way News reports: "Iran has arrested about 70 Christians since Christmas in a crackdown that demonstrates the limits of religious tolerance by Islamic leaders who often boast they provide room for other faiths."

My Way News - Policeman shoots Christian dead in southern Egypt
My Way News reports: "An off-duty policeman boarded a train and opened fire on Tuesday, killing a 71-year-old Christian man and wounding his wife and four others, the Interior Ministry said. The attack, less than two weeks after the suicide bombing of a church killed 21, sparked new demonstrations by enraged Christians who pelted police with stones in southern Egypt."

Comment: Please join me in praying for all believers living in Arab and Islamic countries, specifically that the Holy Spirit will comfort and guide them in persevering in their faith without animosity or desire for revenge. Let them show by their actions that Christians face insult, injury and persecution in a far different manner than those lost to this world.
