Question
Are there any practical ways we can help kids of MBB's?
|
Answer
My friend, thank you for your question. I do not know why I missed it. I guess its such a tiny question but has a huge impact.
For a start please pray for them without ceasing. Ask Jesus to shape their identities. Ask Jesus to guide and fill their parents with wisdom.
Contact your local Open Doors Office and ask them how you can be involved with supporting a ministry to MBBs in countries where their lives and the lives of children are at risk. You can sponsor bibles, sunday school teaching and other projects through them.
But all this without prayer and being filled with love for them is empty. So let the Lord direct you. Thank you for your concern.

Question
I've been a believer -- a follower of Jesus Christ for over 20 years. I'm ashamed at how the Western Church responds to the plight of the Suffering --our brother's and sisters. We are so lukewarm, so self-centered, so worldly. Forgive us -- and help teach us to be passionate and on-fire for Jesus. To lay our lives down for Him -- and for you. Continue to stand strong and fight the GOoD fight!
|
Answer
Thank you for your words. We are blessed to know that there are those like yourself who are challenged to think of us and pray for us. We can do nothing without your prayers but we ask that you would continue to tell the story of Secret Believers. Encourage more people to read the book, share the stories when you can and raise up as much prayer as you can. We are bound by prayer. When we start to pray for each other we become connected by the Holy Spirit and the love and compassion of Christ fills us for one another, just as it fills us for Jesus. Love for one another is real when it grows out of the love we have for Christ and in Christ.

Question
Greetings,
this question is for brother Andrew or brother Butros, for the past several years I've been serving the Lord through bible teaching and evangelism, of late I'm seeking to serve the Lord by planting house churches here in America. But last Sunday I purchased a copy of your book secret believers, and I am deeply moved by these committed believers. I've just move from Norfolk VA. To Richmond,VA, which is two hrs. away. The first thing that I noticed is that there are a lot of muslims here and found out by appoaching one older muslim woman that there is one mosque that stays open 24hrs a day 7 days a week. All this happened with in 30 minutes, first I got the book, then I run into the muslim woman. Do you think that the Lord might be directing me towards muslim ministry along with planting house churches in the Richmond area ? I do feel like getting involved directly.
|
Answer
Perhaps God is. That is an amazing testamony. If you are willing then spend time in prayer and God will show you what to do and will lead you to more people. I am thankful for your message because it gives me joy and fills me with hope that people are watching out for the signs and the opportunity to minister to Muslims. It means people are beginning to love them and want them as part of the Kingdom. Praise God. Let the love of Jesus and HIs promise become contagious

Question
I cannot imagine the pressure you live under, how are you able to survive and love those who hate you? I know the standard answer, but the reality of living on the brink of death must be daunting and make it difficult to live your faith.
|
Answer
Although it is daunting that a bomb may go off any second or we may have a blasphemy case thrown at us any day, our fears are more for our loved ones and those week or young in faith. When those situations happen no one can predict how we will respond and react but we rely on the grace of God and His promise to never leave us and forsake us. Yes we are afraid from time to time, but if we dwell in Christ and He in us, then we dwell in perfect love and we must strive every day to make ths decision to dwell in Him and in His perfect love because perfect love casts out all fear and then perfect love reaches out to our enemy. There is no standard answer my brother, there is just a walk of faith, a faith in His grace and promise and a constant decision we must make every day whether we are faced with violence and persecution by Muslims or by the temptations of materialism, lust and other ills of the free world. The decision has to be made and stuck to that we will dwell in Jesus and there nothing can seperate us from the love of God and there we can trust that when the attack comes we will not be alone. He will be with us. As He was when David stood before Goliath.

Question
Dear Bro. Andrew,
I am really concern about Butros. It was last Sept. '09 that he posted a blog about Ahmed & Salima.
Where are they? I kept on praying for them but somehow the Holy Spirit is silent about them.
I will keep on praying for them. Can you please let me know what happen to them?
In Christ,
Desiree
|
Answer
Ahmed and Salime continue to need a lot of prayer. Ahmed is still on fire for the Lord. He is ministering to those around him and to the young believers God brings to him. Salima continues to struggle with the hurt of the past. Please continue to pray for them. She is getting strong slowly and is learning every day to release her life to the Lord more and more but physically she is week and struggles. There are many like them who need prayer. Do not stop praying. Thank you because your prayers are the difference between life and death.

Question
I wonder how is it where you live and what do you want me to pray about and can you pray for my friend Fatima Antoinnette leverette to be converted from a muslim to christianity, she used to be a christian growing up.
|
Answer
We will pray for your friend Fatima. That is my heart that God will reach those like your friend Fatima and will draw them to Himself. Jesus does not stop loving girls like her. Remember the story of Esther. Maybe Jesus will draw her to himself and she will be used to save many other believers. Pray for her and so will we. She is blessed to have a friend like you raising prayer for her. May God raise others to keep praying too. We must never give up on people like Fatima or they will be alone in the darkness and the fear and loneliness in the Muslim world is a frightening thing. May Jesus shine His light into her darkness by our prayers. Pray and seek God's Word for direction on how to help her.

Question
I have read Secret Believers and feel I am called to help in any way I can. I will start with prayer but would like Peter (Egypt) to know if i can help him directly with anything then he is only to ask, if I am able I will help. Blessings, Andy.

Answer
Thank you for your prayers and promise. Please just stay on your knees and pray for Peter and his believing 'Church Family'. We are blessed by brothers and sisters like you who stand by us in prayer. Never stop.

Question
My deaf friend who is muslim. He said that the bible did remove God's word by jew and christian...I believe that holy spirit guide them to Christ someday. can you share with us about how you know that the bible didn't remove the scripture... I have read the muslim vs Jesus , wrote by mark garblie...
|
Answer
The Bible is the eternal word of God and although the grass withers and flowers fade, the word of God lasts forever. We know the Bible is the same from old texts that testify to the consistency of God's word. We also know that God does not lie. He does not change His mind and HIs promises in the Old Testament have not been left unfulfilled Jesus fulfilled every prophecy. Muslims believe that Peter and Paul were the main changers of the Bible and that Jesus wrote the Bible. Jesus did not write the Bible - He is the Word of God himself and the power of the Holy Spirit He inspired men to write the word of God. Also if one were to read the Koran it is thoroughly inconsistent with history and the chronology of the Old Testament as presented in the Jewish scriptures as well. This demonstrates that the Koran cannot hold a consistent argument nor can it be referred to for historical purposes. An example of this is the merging of the characters of Mary the mother of Jesus, Hanah the mother of Samuel and Mirium the sister of Moses. These characters occupied very different dates in history and are distinct characters in the Bible. But the Koran makes them one person. I hope this is a helpful answer. Please ask me anything else you need.

Question
Dear friends in Jesus,
I'm a surgeon by profession and I would like to get some wiews on evangelism in Saudi Arabia. Western surgeons are very wellcome there and the prospect of going there seems both frightful and enthralling. My life is moving to such direction that I feel like God might send me there (or to some other muslim country). So far, just maybe. But in order to to think about it and to pray about it, I would like to get an opinion: could it be and option to go to Saudi Arabia as a medical professional and at the same time help in evangelizing this hard-to- reach nation? Thank you for the book and Maaria and Butros for their eyes opening, wonderful blogs,
heidi
|
Answer
Dear Heidi,
Only the Lord can direct you. It is as you say both frightful and enthralling. May He guide you and give you wisdom but be prepared that if you go there you may be expected to live in isolation from other Christians. There are some small groups of believers who meet together in secret but it is discouraged by society and if found out you can be in serious trouble. When there is no fellowship there is loneliness, isolation and depression and then you become easy game for the devil. But if God takes you there He will meet your spiritual needs and lead you to friends and believers who will stand by you. It is important to knwo God's direction. It is a very influencial position to be a lady doctor to so many Muslim women. But you will have tread with care and rememeber a western women in Saudi Arabia is a vulnerable and a large proportion of Mulsim men tend to think all western women are sexually willing and easy targets so you would have to be very careful not to open up to Muslim men - leave them to God and let God lead you to Muslim women. I hope this is helpful. We shall be praying fo ryou. thank you for your heart and your willingness. You are a blessing to us.

Question
I dont have a question. I just want to say that my brothers and sisters in Christ in these places are in my prayers as of TODAY! I did not know there are christians in these places. God bless you all and give you strength. "I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me" Fil.4:13.
|
Answer
Thank you for your faithfulness. We are blessed by your prayers. Let others know about this too.
|
Question
Dear Maaria, Greetings in the name of our wonderful Saviour Jesus Christ. I am hoping all is well with you and your family. I have been praying for you and I am a little concerned for your safety. I have not
read any blogs lately. I have no question except to offer a verse from God's word. My son's favourite verse Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. I pray that this verse will bless you heart. God Bless and keep strong in your faith.
|
Answer
Dear friend, thank you for your message and your words of encouragemnet. God does so truly renew our strength. Thank you for your prayers. We are not safe at all. Every day is a new set of challenges. As a nation we struggle with violence and terrorism and as Christians we are persecuted. For some reason or other we suffer but for one reason we rejoice and that is Jesus. So we are not without hope - and your note demonstrates to me that we are not without prayeing friends and family. We give thanks for you and your prayers and love. Keep on keeping on in prayer for us that we may stand knowing you stand behind us.

Question
If I were imprisoned for Christ and abused, how much would I have to resist before God declared me innocent of fornication? I know that on the streets, in freedom, a Jew under the Mosaic law was required to cry out to be counted pure. (The men of the city, it was assumed, would help her- but if it appeared no one came after hearing her cries, the law counted her as much a victim as a man who is murdered.) In prison, of course, human deliverance is unlikely. I still want to read some measure I could use- were I to find myself there. Perhaps someone reading this may eventually need to comfort such a martyr.
|
Answer
There is no formulaic answer to your question my friend. The comfort believers find in prison is the word of God which is etched on their hearts by the Spirit of God. That is where the comfort and the resistence and the strength comes from. Sometimes God intervenes by protecting his loved one from feeling pain. Other times he allows his children to feel every whip as His Son did 2000 years ago. But everytime His Holy Spirit is with us. If you are free today remember true forgivess is from Christ and Christ alone. But those who are suffering are comforted by the prayers of the believers and their love for them. There is no measure, because God's love, grace and forgiveness are indeed without fathom and measure.
|
Question
The Grace and Peace of God !!..i want you to say us, that are free to say about Jesus in our coutries, the importance of this..how we need to profit this opportunity that God gave us to be free to say about him in our countries..cause you dont have this opportunity in your countries because of the laws. Here we are free to say about Jesus, but sometimes, we dont do this, so, what you would like to say to us, to profit this opportunity more and more?
God bless you my brothers and sister !! i will be praying for you !!
|
Answer
Read the Word of God and never turn your back on the teachings of God in the Bible, never change the Bible. Let God reveal His wisdom and His heart to you and you will be vessels of His Love to the nations. Love God first. Make him your priority and all else will fall into place. Live for Jesus.
|
Question
What do I do to take a stand for Jesus in the West? The Church in America Is weak.
|
Answer
Be faithful to Him, Let Him show through all you do, read the Bible and DO NOT DEPART FROM ITS TEACHING. Live by His righteousness and His guidance not the interpretation that suits the 21\st C. do not change the word of God to suit your life but in stead let the Word of God change you to impact the 21 st Century. Stick firmly faithfully and eternally to the Word of God. Jesus does the rest because He will shine through you.
|
Question
The church in the west is bogged down, I don't know if salt can be re-salted, you have challenged me so much that my prayer is to experience Jesus in such a way as you have. I consider you my brothers and sisters and will not cease to pray for you
|
Answer
Thank you. No Salt may not be able to be resalted but if we believe that we are new creations in Him, then let us pray for revival in the Church in the west in order that the Church may be new salt full of flavour and power. Thank you for your prayers. We need them. We pray for you too.

Question
If I may ask a rather uncomfortable question:
Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 7:5 that celibacy in marriage is permitted only on a temporary basis. What about the case where a spouse returns from a horrible prison (for the sake of our Lord) with an intreatable venereal disease?
This question is purely theoretical in my case, but with some of my brothers and sisters, it isn't. Please answer as best you can- if this wasn't too prickly a subject.
|
Answer
It is a prickly issue you are right. Sexuality at best in the lives of believers in the East is private. Sadly that means that there are issues that need help and intervention that get swept under the carpet and forgotten. Remember marriage is a relationship between a husband and a wife, and I think if both of them love the Lord and know Him and are discerning then they will seek him for the future of their relationship. Their leading will be based on righteousness and will be the perfect balance of honour, respect, truth, healing and love. It will be a blend of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
|
Question
Sometimes, when I read about your sufferings, I feel terrible- not only am I empathizing with you, I am also ashamed about my own shortcomings. I know the answer is to confess any unconfessed sin to God, then accept His forgiveness- but do you have any more advice? Thank you.
|
Answer
When I share about our suffering it in a way that is meant to condemn you at all. We all, even those of us who suffer for the Gospel in the Muslim World, fall short of the Glory of God. We are not heroes, we just follow the strongest most powerful God. He is the one who is amazing and HIs light is the brightness that shows us our forthcomings. Accepting his forgiveness is important but also forgiving ourselves is important. It is also important to become so consumed with Him that our own guilt and self focus fade away. If we are consumed by a passion and love for him, then we wont be pre occupies by aggressive angry neighbours, or extremists who kill our young ones in prison. It is about Him, about Jesus, the Son of the Most High God. Become crazily passionate about that all else will fall into place. That is the only way one can take the weight of the cross and still keep one's eyes on the destination. Thank you for sharing and know we pray for you too.

Question
I have read the book and im now wondering how are the people doing now ?
|
Answer
Dear Brittany
Bless you for concern. It is those like you who care who make a difference. The struggle for us all continues. Through the blogs of Butros and Maaria you can follow up on some of what God is doing in Secret Believers Family. Will you stand by us in prayer?
The struggle and the challenges continue and in all of this we need prayer. Thank you for your concern.
|
Question
What can I do to assist Brother Butros?
|
Answer
Walk with him in prayer, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to pray Scripture for Butros and his family (his own family and his church family). Share his story and the story of His Church Family with your Church Family. Spread the word because the more people there are praying, the more you stand by Butros in ever single decision he needs to make and everyone he needs to disciple.

Question
Dear Brother Andrew,
how can I go about witnessing to Muslims?
How should I start a conversation? And what should I avoid? I'm only a teenager. How can I make a difference?
|
Answer
Well Chelsea, it is never too late or too soon to begin witnessing to Muslims. Do you have people in your class, your neighborhood, your sports team who are Muslims? Start just by loving Jesus with a passion. When you love Jesus and your personal relationship with Jesus is strengthened and deepened, then you will glow for Him and be set on fire for Him and no one will be able to deny that there is something different about you.
Spend time with them, let them always know that Jesus is the most important person in your life, that you belong to Him and He guides you in all your decision making. When Christ is so much a part of our lives it shows in every thing, our honoring God, our honouring our parents, our honouring our Church commitments, our honesty and attitude to our work and our faith for the future He has for us.
Muslims are very family oriented. Family has a big part to play in their lives and so when you honour your parents and are obedient and responsible in a Godly way then you will win their trust because in Arab and South Asian Contextx (whether Christian or Muslim - like JEsus' world- ) parents are very important and if you cannot honour your parents then you are seen as irresponsible and a carer of no one.
Ask your parents to have them over to your home so they can have an evening with your family and see that you give thanks for a meal and so they can see a Christian family's life. Make sure not to serve them Pork or Alcahol and assure them that the food is ' Halal' and have no pork or alcahol in it. That will make them know you care about their hearts and they will want to know more about your life and your faith.
If you have more questions feel free to ask me. I will be more than happy to help. But be careful I have one suggestion that is almost a rule, let boys counsel boys and girls counsel girls, or then do so in mixed groups but never alone and remember you are a teenager and you are probably considering what the future holds for you in terms of a husband - be careful - never depart from what the Word of God tells you that you must not ne unequally yoked with an unbeliever. You must not marry a Muslim ever, not even with the hope that he will convert one day. Be certain of who you give your heart too- remember always that your heart belongs to Jesus and it is His to commit to someone for marriage and a relationship of love, guard it. He has placed a passion for Muslims in your heart and God be praised for that. No Go Foth and be obedient and walk in the light.
|
Question
Dear anyone,
I have been praying for the persecuted church for a long time in general terms. How can I pray more specifically?
|
Answer
Dear Chelsea,
SOmetimes we get so tired. Sometimes we want to weep and weep and weep. There are days I do not want to hear about another brother or sister who has been hurt or another church that has been attacked. But then He gives us the strength to GO FORTH and be obedient. That is what we need strength for perseverance, grace, love and faith. Pray that we will be bearers of Christ and grow more and more like Him every day because that is the only way we can live for Him. Thank you for your love. Thank you so much it because of people like you we have continued to stand for Christ - because you prayed when our faith was tiring- so continue to stand in the gap.

Question
Is there a way that I could visit Maaria? Or to care for Salima personally? Is there a travel ministry to their area?
|
Answer
Dear Desiree, I am so touched by your email. It made me smile. How I would love to be able to invite you to my home and be blessed by having you with us but I am so sorry that to do so would be dangerous. Some members of my family do not even know that I am involved in this work and to do so would put them at risk too. This is very hard for me because we come from a culture where our doors are never shut to a guest and a guest is giving the highest honour and yet I must say to you that I am afraid I cannot invite you to my house, nor could you meet with the sister from the book Salima. Even I do not know her, nor she me. For me this has been perhaps the hardest email to answer. But for the safety and security of our brothers and sisters and so I can keep telling you the stories of our people, and keep encouraging you to pray for us, you can never know more about me or where I live. So I invite you to come to my home in my blogs. Come let us fellowship at the feet of the Father, Let Him place on your heart our needs. That is the best place to meet but remember it is not just Maaria and Salima, there are so many more and may He set your feet on the Path that leads you to share His love with them and comfort them and bring them to Him. We will no doubt meet in the Throne Room.

Question
Brother Andrew blesiings to you and all secret believers, I have been reading in books about the muslim believers. And most are saying that they had a vision or a dream, where the Lord spoke to them. is this something you 2 are hearing? I know God speaks to us in dreams so I have been praying that the Lord will continue to do this for all who are seeking him. for the the persecuted as well as the the persecutors.after all Christ died for all of us!Lupe
|
Answer
Dear Lupe,
Yes this is something we see every day on the mission field in the Muslim world. God speaks to men and women through their dreams and in vision and through signs and wonders. The most amazing thing is that those who have never heard of the cross or the story of redemption and salvation have dreams and visions that lead them to Christ and reveal their Salvation through Him to them. Yes Christ died for us all that is why He gives us all a Chance to accept the Gospel. Praise God -
|
Question
greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ! just want to ask about how is Ahmed today, and Salima too. hope she is coping with her new life now. rest assured im praying for her. you are not alone on your journey were here praying for you and for ahmed too.
|
Answer
Dear Genly, thank you for your kind message. What a blessing to have a family who stand by and walk with us in prayer. It is so easy to forget that ourselves but praise God that when the goping is so tough that we cannot see beyond the problem, God by His Holy Spirit ministers to us and speaks to us and reminds us that around the world there are brothers and sisters who are praying for us. Thank you for your prayers and your love. Ahmed continues to struggle with the brethren. Things change every day for those like Ahmed and Salima. Every day brings challenges and opportunities to share Christ in the lives of people but also risk of being noticed, reported, found and arrested. Please pray for us. We are so in need of prayer. Please also be assured that we pray for you in the West too and ask that God will keep you faithful, safe and committed, we also give thanks for you every day. You are precious to us. Butros and Nadira

Question
Can you describe what is going on wiht North Korean Christians? Thank you! (if possible)
|
Answer
The best information on North Korea would be available through the Open Doors website http://www.opendoorsusa.org/ where you can find online information as well as access information to ask an area rep to share more prayer needs with you. HOwever we do know that the brothers and sisters in N Korea are in dire need of our prayers. To be a Christian is certain death and persecution. One loses all, family and friends and freedom. Please do encourage many to be faithful in sharing the need for prayer for our brothers and sisters. Thank you.
|
Question
What specifically can I pray
for?
|
Answer
Pray as the Spirit leads. One of the things a sister from the persecuted Church suggests is that we take our prayer points directly from the inspired Word of God. The Bible she says is full of examples of persecution. The stories of men and women like Samuel, David, Hannah, Daniel, Esther, Moses, Peter, Judas, Paul, The Eunich, all of these lived through struggles that Christians in the Muslim world go through even today. Though their contexts were not Islam, the Devil continues to work through Islam in the same way that he has used other religions and civilizations through time.
That is only one pointer. ALso prayer for Pastors and Christian workers and for their safety, for security in spreading the Word of God through some of the most dangerous regions of the Muslim World, for the explosive character if Islamic Extremism in the Muslim world at the moment. Pray for new believers for protection of their faith as well as their lives and for discernment for those who work with them.
Pray above all that Jesus name be glorified, because for us - that is what it is all about- not about persecution or about heroic stories or the wow factor, but about the Glory of God.

Question
Dear Brother Andrew. Why is Lebanon not on your list of countries that we can pray for? Can you add them to your list please if possible. I would like to pray for them. Thanks Marion
|
Answer
Please Marion, do pray for Lebenon. We need your prayers for that country. Especially with the activities of the extremist Islamic groups in that land. There is a growing thriving Church there that also needs much prayer to minister as agents of Peace in that land. So please do keep praying for Lebenon.
|
Question
Is Islam dominated by radicals? God Bless you Secret Believes, never give up hope, Jesus love you.
|
Answer
Well - thats a difficult question to answer. Growing up in a Muslim country has given us a slightly different perspective from the commonly heard 'not all Muslims are extremists'. True not all Muslims want to kill us, not all Muslims wanted 9/11 to happen. I hate talking about Muslims as radical. To be honest, there is nothing 'radical' about Islam, it teaches 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'. Thats what human nature is best at, so in what way is it radical. Radical to me is what challenges the human being 'Love your enemy'. Every Muslim if not reached with the Gospel has the potential of becoming an 'extremist' and by that I mean someone who is extreme in how they take your tooth or your eye, some one who is extreme in their passion for a God they do not know, a passion for a paradise they are not certain about. If you did not have those certainties and were groping in the dark you would probably do some pretty extreme things. When people have no hope they become extremist. Radical is what the Gospel will do to their lives when you give it to them, so yes there is potential for them all to become radicalised by the Gospel. The danger is not in what they do to Christians, as Christians we already know we will suffer, the danger at hand, is what they do to themselves when they self destruct or they heap guilt on themselves for destroying the life of another. That is the danger. We know we will suffer and we bear that cross so we may wear the crown. It is them I ache for.

Question
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My name is Felicia. I am communicating with you from Toronto, Canada. My husband and I are in the process of planting a church under the umbrella of Christian and Missionary Alliance. Maaria, I have listened to your podcast and have read your blogs, I will keep you in my prayers and my heart daily. My question is as follows: You (Maaria) being a student in a secular university with a strong Muslim influence in the curriculum, Is the topic of evolution taught and if so, how is the subject dealt with according to the Q,uran. Please feel free to email me directly if it is safe for you God bless.
|
Answer
Dear Felicia, Evolution is taught at school as a theory. Since Muslims are also believers in the creation story, they believe in the Old Testiment and so their belief in creation of the World by God supercedes any theories of evolution. So we are taught it as a theory but with the basic belief that is all it is, and that God created the world as in the Bible. When it comes to Science and medicine and math though, they take the line that the Koran is 100% sound and adds up, none the less just a little bit of investigation and math will show that there are some things that do not add up and that the Koran's references to Biblican accounts are misinformed and not chronological, yet they continue to say they agree with the Old Testiment. Which means they have to acknowedge discrepency in their accounts.

Question
Is there a way to send "salima" (from secret believers) a letter of encouragement through you? does she understand english, or would it be translated by you?
|
Answer
If you sent it to us we would share it with her by word of mouth as it would not be safe to take a print out to her. Yes she does understand English. As you know there are many secret believers who face similar situations to Salima's - many of them do not understand England. Your words of encouragement will be a blessing. Send the message into us and we will share your heart and love with her. Thank you for your care it means so much to us.
|
Question
If possible, I would like to be able to correspond by email with a MBB secret believer. I realize this may not be easy or possible. But would like information and advice on how I might do this.
Bill Vollrath
|
Answer
Dear Bill, thank you for your email. You can correspond with them through this website. If you send the website emails of encouragment we can pass them on. Due to the very sensitive nature of this ministry it puts at grave risk the MBBs if we give any one access to them. Our internet and telephone's are all monitored and so that makes it hard. But you know you and them go to the same heart of the Father God and there He will reveal to you one another's needs and what a beautiful connection with your brothers and sisters that is. Thank you for your interest and please keep praying for us. We need it.
