Open Doors World Watch List 2013 At the start of 2023, the team that formerly led the U.S. affiliate base for Open Doors relaunched as Global Christian Relief, a separate ministry that continues to raise awareness, prayer, and support for the persecuted church worldwide. Open Doors International continues its work through a new U.S. affiliate office, Open Doors U.S., which supports the organization’s long-established fieldwork in 70 countries. The two ministries have agreed to work independently to support the persecuted church at a time when worldwide oppression of Christians has reached historic levels. Both organizations remain committed to serving the persecuted church and advocating for their support and prayer as co-laborers for the Kingdom. “We have enormous respect for Open Doors’ presence and work in the most difficult places,” said David Curry, CEO of Global Christian Relief, and commissioner on the U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). “We currently have a handful of ministries doing this work, and we need a thousand.” “We are thankful for what our former U.S. affiliate has done in the past to raise awareness, prayer and support for those who share our faith in Christ but not our freedom,” said Dan Ole Shani, CEO of Open Doors International. “The global church needs to take its responsibility seriously to ensure that our brothers and sisters in Christ do not face their trial alone.” Today, more than 350 million Christians around the world suffer extreme persecution and discrimination for their faith in Jesus—and they need to know they’re not alone. Both organizations encourage U.S. Christians to take action through prayer, advocacy and support for their persecuted brothers and sisters.

The persecution of Christians can be historically traced from the first century of the Christian era to the present day. Christian missionaries and converts to Christianity have both been targeted for persecution, sometimes to the point of being martyred for their faith, ever since the emergence of Christianity.

It's already been written by God, and I am just here to tell it. I am Brandy Allison, and this is my story. My mother and father both worked at a textile mill in our hometown of Union, South Carolina. They married at the age of 16 and had their first child, my big brother, at 17. In January of 1983, five years after my brother was born, they welcomed a screaming, bald, tripled chinned and red skinned 9.5 pound baby girl…me! Mama and Daddy knew from an early age that I would be their "problem child". I was a feisty little blonde thing, known to say whatever was on her mind… I had four aunts and four uncles, and was raised with my boy cousins, so I learned how to be a tomboy pretty quickly…but I also knew how to work up a tear to get them in a heap of trouble when I felt like it. At age 3, I started going to daycare at a church near the mill where my parents worked, and most mornings, I would kick, spit, hit and fight to let them know exactly how I felt about it. One morning, after my usual antics, one of the church ladies named "Ms. Betty" gathered us children and said we were going to do a Christmas show for our mommies and daddies…my eyes lit up thinking about seeing Santa and singing in front of everybody! The first song I ever learned was "Away In A Manger"…I remember singing it by the piano and screaming over the other children to sing the loudest. Little did I know, as much as I hated going to daycare, that it would instill in me a lifelong passion for music that I've pursued ever since.

The Armor of God 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Switchfoot is an American rock band from San Diego, California. The band's members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), and Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals). After early successes in the Christian rock scene, Switchfoot first gained mainstream recognition with the inclusion of four of their songs in the 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. This recognition led to their major label debut, The Beautiful Letdown, which was released in 2003 and featured the hits "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move". The album sold over 2.6 million copies. They have since been noted for their energetic live shows,[2][3][4] and their seventh studio album Hello Hurricane received a Grammy award in 2011 for Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album. According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" comes from a surfing term. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music."[5]

John MacArthur Books on Amazon: https://amzn.to/47bnYy3 Life Through the Spirit 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b] God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.[c] And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[d] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[e] his Spirit who lives in you. 12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Present Suffering and Future Glory 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
