Voice of the Martyrs
August 2010
In July 2008, villagers ransacked "Somchi's" house, burning her Bible and hymnal. Somchi's mother was dying, and the villagers said Somchi's Bible was the cause of her illness. "We ned to destroy it!" they exclaimed.
But they cannot destroy God's Word or Christians' desire to read it. Somchi smiles as she sifts through the ashes of her burned Bible. "On Sunday," she says, "I walked to the house church and told them about this. They gave me a new Bible and a new song book."
Thousands of Christians around the world face this kind of persecution simply because they read or share God's Word.

Baptist World Missions Update
August 2010
Each week we are blessed with the opportunity to attend church and worship the Lord freely alongside many believers in our local churches. May we never forget the blessed privilege that is ours. While many of our missionaries faithfully minister each week, some with several believers, others just their own family, please remember to pray for their encouragement and that they will see souls saved for their labors.
Your faithful support of the Lord's work through BWM is a critical part of taking advantage of the opportunity at hand. Thank you for everything you are doing in the harvest fields of the world!
Your servant for Christ's sake, Bud Steadman, Executive Director

New Tribes Missions Update - April 2010
August 2010
"I woke up Saturday morning to a daughter who was goofing around with me as I tickled her. It is Monday morning as I sit next to the bed of a 5-year-old brain cancer patient, who is one day post op (after having a tangerine sized tumor removed). The crazy thing is, they are the same person."
In the latest issue of NTM@work, read stories from missionaries who left the comforts of home, moved into remote areas of the world, with carefully planned goals. But things did not always go as planned. Read their stories, read how even when things do not go as planned...God is still in control. ntm.org/magazine

Jews for Jesus
SEPTEMBER 2010
When people ask us when Jews for Jesus began, we always like to say, "Around 32 A.D. give or take a year." After all, the first Jews for Jesus were His twelve disciples. But that doesn't mean we are not mindful and thankful that God drew us together as a bad of modern day Jews for Jesus - 37 years ago this month!
We exist to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people worldwide.
To see several Jews for Jesus testimonies online, please check our FACEBOOK page!
In Our Messiah,

PIONEERS
BREAKING NEWS! August 2010
I would like to ask for prayers for the victims of the recent violence in Kyrgyzstan and our staff members who are working in that region. Political protests and ethnic violence have torn this country. It desperately needs our prayers, emergency aid, relief workers, and the healing message of the gospel.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Matthew 25:35
