The startled visitor tried to pull away but soon realized that the boy was making the sign of the cross on his palm silently with his finger. The man, actually a missionary who had prayed to make contact with the Church, looked down into the face of the thin boy and immediately understood the message: “The Church is alive in No...

In Pakistan, speaking against the majority religion can earn you a death sentence. These are called “Blasphemy Laws” and right now, dozens of Christians are in prison after being falsely accused of breaking these laws. One of these is Zhafar Bhatti. He established a small charity called “Jesus World Mission” with the purpose of helping the poor, but in 2012 he was accused of sending blasphemous text messages from a mobile phone. Z...

Soon after, one of the gang leaders in the prison ordered to meet him. Somehow the gang leader had heard that Hussein had contacts outside of Iran, and th...

It was 4AM at the river bank in northern China. It was damp, cold, and dark, yet songs of praise filled the air. Why?

One of the pastors spoke compassionately as he baptized them, each with hands lifted up to a new life in Christ. He and his fellow workers baptized eleven hundred new believers that day! For decades, the church in Chin...
