Two recent news items
have appeared about persecution of Christians in Saudi Arabia. Such news always reminds us to pray daily for
the persecuted Church around the world. It also leads us to give thanks to God for
the religious freedom that we have in the United States. And it reminds us that we need to use the opportunities
that God has given us to practice the
faith and share it with others.

Thank you for posting this. It is important for our church leaders to keep these in mind when they decide to cooperate with these governments when doing "mission" work.
ReplyDeleteJust to share that a book “Abundant Harvest: Stories of Asian Lutherans” edited by Edmond Yee has just been published. It is now widely circulated and read in Asia & USA. This book is indeed very interesting as it recorded the stories of how God work in and through the lives of hundreds of Asian Lutherans spanning from India to Japan, covering Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ceylon, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea. It contains the stories of my own bishop, theologian, pastor and lay leaders of the Lutheran Church in Singapore. The mission work in Asia by LCMS, ELCA and other Lutheran bodies are recorded for posterity. If you are interested to know about Lutheranism in Asia, this 475 page book may be useful. It can be ordered from Lutheran University Press, see http://www.lutheranupress.org/Books/Abundant_Harvest
ReplyDeleteThank you.
