All night long

Last night we prayed for the persecuted Christians. There were more than 200 places in Belgium and Holland, where people came together to hear about the individuals abroad, who are tortured often because they are Christians.
The evening starts at ten o'clock pm and finishes at 6.00 am. We watch videos, where we hear what is going on and how we have to pray. We had 4 rounds and in between we had a pause, to drink and eat something. The videos are deep impressing and every time we are amazed by their perseverence. Where the persecution is the most severe, faith increases most!
It's a battle in the heavenly realms, and can only be supported by prayer, while we see the power of the Holy Spirit in the persons, who are tortured are left behind with their loss of their beloved ones.

Lieve Anna,

Heel hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je kleinzoon! Leuk dat August vernoemd is, maar wie is Jacob?? Laat het weten, Marijke.
