Pray for the staffs of the Christian organizations which maintain these websites and do follow up with these precious new believers. Check out Islam: A Threat or a Challenge in the Book Section.

You and many other Christians may be going through difficult times. However, we can look to Jesus on the cross, in great anguish. Out of the seven last phrases he uttered before dying, 3 of them demonstrated his great compassion for others: Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. Today you will be with me in paradise. Woman, behold your son; to the disciple, behold your mother (and take care of her).

THAT EXAMPLE OF COMPASSION IS OUR GUIDE. SO...

DON'T WITHHOLD THE GIFTS YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN!

DON'T WITHHOLD YOUR WORSHIP OF JESUS!

DON'T WITHHOLD YOUR WITNESS!

DON'T STOP CHEERING FOR JESUS!
