Dear friends,
We have a variety of reports for you this Holy Week, but first want to pass along a few stories that are specific to this season:
- Open Doors reports (via Mission Network News) about Resurrection in the Heart of Refugees, noting that Christians in ISIS-controlled areas are celebrating Easter and Holy Week despite the dangers they face.
- Have you heard about #orangejumpsuit campaign launching this week? It calls us to stand in solidarity with persecuted Christians, based on the words of Hebrews 13:3 on remembering those in prison.
- In reflections on A Postmodern Easter, a Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor explains why he’s changed his approach to reaching those not concerned about discovering what is “true.”
- Need help talking about Easter with a Muslim friend or just want some food for thought? Read Easter Found in the Quran?! from Answering Islam, via the Coalition of Ministries to Muslims in North America.
Blessings,
Pat
