Sorry that I've not blogged. I'm OK, life's been crazily busy. I won't stop to give you all the details just now BUT I will fill you in soon.
The reason for this entry is to ask you to read this entry by Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing - a story of Martyrdom from Turkey. It has moved me, particularly the quote from one turkish pastor.
"do not pray against persecution, pray for perserverence"
Also there are reflections from a friend of the martyrs HERE.
