. . . and Other Stories of Christians in Communist China
Abruptly, the officers stopped me in front of a cell and unlocked the door. They shoved me roughly inside. Immediately, a burly young prisoner came toward me. Then he asked the dreaded question. “Why are you here?”
I couldn’t help it. The words just burst out. “I am here in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God!”
All thirteen of those prisoners stepped back They were amazed. And frightened
Finally the young leader seemed able to move “Sit down. Tell me about Jesus, the son of your god.”

Sad Sequel

I couldn’t think of a better (yet short) title for this post.
This is a prayer request for the family featured in A Song for Your Honor.
Isaac Coates, the “son” in the book, drowned in Honduras this past Wednesday afternoon (March 12, 2008).
As I understand, his body wasn’t recovered until Friday morning and burial was early that afternoon.
Some friends set up an online memorial site here.

On a lovely morning in June, 1861, the tranquility of the Lord’s Day worship service at the Weaver’s Church in Shenandoah Valley of Virginia is rudely shattered. Two officials from the newly organized American Confederacy appear abruptly and announce that all boys and men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five are to report for military training the following week.
Consternation and sorrow, mingled with questions and fear, follow their departure as the congregation faces the conflicting requirements of God’s Word and the State.
