from Day by Day with the Persecuted Church The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (James 5:16b) Brother Jacob That short message on a piece of paper, hidden in a rice bowl was a tremendous assurance of Gods faithfulness to me and to my family. At the same time I was well aware of the prayers of others for me. What encouraged me greatly was the news which I received through local Christians who visited me in prison that brothers and sisters around the world were praying for me. When someone was led away from the prison cell we would often hear the muffled gunshots somewhere in the prison complex. I often thought that it could be my turn tomorrow. Father, please tell your children around the world to pray for me. I believe He did. I believe they did. Oh, how I could rest in the knowledge and comfort of those prayers, regardless of what tomorrow would bring. May I encourage you today with these words: Your prayers are heard- Your prayers are answered- Your prayers for us are experienced by us. What a great spiritual bond - all over the world.
