    Dear friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

    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:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Doors reports (via Mission Network News) about Resurrection in the Heart of Refugees<\/a>, noting that Christians in ISIS-controlled areas are celebrating Easter and Holy Week despite the dangers they face.<\/li>\n
    2. Have you heard about #orangejumpsuit campaign<\/a> 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.<\/li>\n
    3. In reflections on A Postmodern Easter<\/a>, a Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor explains why he\u2019s changed his approach to reaching those not concerned about discovering what is \u201ctrue.\u201d<\/li>\n
    4. Need help talking about Easter with a Muslim friend or just want some food for thought? Read Easter Found in the Quran?!<\/a> from Answering Islam, via the Coalition of Ministries to Muslims in North America.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Blessings,
