MISSION OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH

VOICE OF THE MARTYRS

Christian persecution and martyrdom is a little talked about atrocity hap-

pening throughout the world today. Christians suffer torture, death and persecu-

tion around the world.

Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) is a ministry that serves persecuted Christians

in over 60 restricted or hostile nations around the globe including Iran, Syria,

North Korea and parts of Africa and Asia. VOM provides basic physical assis-

tance like food, shelter and spiritual support for families impoverished by abuse

because of their faith in Jesus Christ

During the Month of March, please consider a financial gift to assist our

brothers and sisters and those serving them around the globes who are suffering

for their faith in the name of Jesus.

Lenten Book Study

Is your plate too full already to take on yet another commitment? – I get that!

That’s why I would like to invite you to join me for my Facebook live Lenten Book

Study. My schedule is crazy too. But I’ll try to be live every Sunday evening around

8:00 pm starting February 18, and you will be able to join me then from the comfort

of your home or wherever you are, or you can watch the episode at another

time that better fits your schedule. In addition, I will be

“live” every morning for just a few minutes to start our

day! More of a traditionalist? Join me on Thursdays

at 11:30 am, starting February 15, in the Fireside

Room at Trinity. The book is called

“Easter Earthquake”, you may contact me to

place an order for $15.00 total
