    \"iraq-smile\" A group of Iraqi Christians lined up to travel several hours so they could celebrate Easter in their own church, damaged by the fighting. Read their story<\/a> (Open Doors).<\/p>\n

    Greetings,<\/p>\n

    There are some exciting things afoot in the here-but-not-yet Kingdom! Explore how networks are changing the shape of world mission<\/a> (Mission Frontiers) and read about the once-a-generation gathering of European students to celebrate the Resurrection<\/a> (Evangelical Focus).<\/p>\n

    Partner with the Moroccan church by praying for a very timely need: Moroccan Christians sent a letter to their prime minister<\/a> calling on authorities to take the necessary steps to ensure Christian basic rights like freedom of worship. Pray also for the Church in Turkey; watch the video mentioned in a related story below.<\/p>\n

    If, like me, you don\u2019t want the Easter holiday to end, learn about Eastertide<\/a> or join Eastern Christians in observing Pentecostarion<\/a>. I plan to incorporate the vision of the International Day for the Unreached<\/a> into these new-to-me holiday seasons. Got ideas on how to do this well? Let me know.<\/p>\n
