"Everyone is worried that the fighting could escalate, literally, becoming much more street-to-street fighting than what we've seen already. And that is the fear, that more groups would be drawn in, that the fighting will become more intense, involve more people and really become a civil war." The instability threatens to disrupt some SAT-7 broadcasts because of distribution complications. Harder asks prayer for the team: "They're going to continue to try to make programs and, like they have in the past, they're able to bring in pastors who can speak about what life is like, relying on Christ, in the middle of a crisis. They're not just speaking about it in theory, they're living it. Viewers know when it's real, and people respond." ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11211 http://mnnonline.org/ru/article/11216 Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11216 http://mnnonline.org/ru/article/11213 Voice of the Martyrs Canada, Bentar was arrested in West Java and convicted on proselytizing charges. But from behind bars, he asked for three Bibles so that he could share them with his six cellmates. Praise the Lord for his release and continued ministry.]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11213 http://mnnonline.org/ru/article/11214 World Evangelical Alliance International's Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe visited Vietnam for the first time this year. Vietnam's church was splintered after the 1975 communist victory, and it is still looking for unity. So far, only four churches are government recognized, but others avoid registration for fear of government interference. Optimistic pastors presented Tunnicliffe with a letter requesting prayer. While there is a long road ahead before religious freedom is reached, fruitful work is leading them in that direction. ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11214 http://mnnonline.org/ru/article/11212 Christian Resources International's Fred Palmerton. "For many of these people it wouldn't matter if they had the money. They still wouldn't have the Bible available. There's just no Bibles at their disposal. There's no bookstore around the corner. There's no other Christian to turn to." The Operation Bare Your Bookshelf campaign is still going on, because it's still getting heavy response. Hundreds of requests could be filled each month simply by giving unused Christian materials from your collection. "For a few dollars out of their household budget, they are able to meet two needs: the needs that we have to ship great quantities of books, as well as meet those needs of the individuals from overseas who do not have their own Bible." Please pray that every request can be filled. For more on how to send your materials, go to our web site. ]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://mnnonline.org/article/11212
