Dear saints, Last Saturday I preached to the most people so far at the market. The entire section was stopped and listening. This one man was getting upset about what I was doing and called the police. I was given a warning that if I cause another disturbance I will receive a $250 dollar fine. Please pray for the gospel to continue without hindrance and for wisdom on how I will proceed. Audio clip available of the preaching, "A Reprobate Mind" timothyministry.blogspot.com/2006/05/reprobate-mind.html

I just found out there was a story about it in the CBC: www.cbc.ca/nb/story/nb-marketsecurity20060530.htmlIt says "prompted them to arrest"... first, nothing of that sort happened. Secondly, I was not even on a soapbox as they suggested. The police warned me of a fine for causing a disturbance. I have no idea about the other guy who was "arrested." "McGeorge says market staff sent a letter to the City of Fredericton asking for increased police presence around the market as thousands of people pass through every Saturday morning."Brothers and sisters, you see how excellent a location this is? Thousands of people pass through their weekly. However, please pray because I believe the police will be getting involved from here on end. Blessings, Yours in New Brunswick, -Eli

This just came through to my email its part of Newsletter from Voice of the Martyrs. I really would like to suggest that this whole forum has a day of prayer to pray for those who are being persecuted for the Lords name but also to prepare us also to face such things in the future and to press into God, and come into the vital union with Him in the Holy Place. That we would have a walk with God as the revivalists did. He has a plan for each one of us. It is of utmost importance we press into Him fully dying to self to be in a place where we hear that still small voice saying go this way or that. I am sure some of us have that now but there is always so much more... I know that this should be a daily prayer but pray about it and I put it to Jesse etc..to give the signal.
BELARUS News Service In what appears to be an increasing trend, a Pentecostal pastor has been fined for leading worship without state sanction. "Divine freedom is given to us by God," Ilya Radkevich remarked to Forum 18 News Service, "but state freedom you have to pay for." He was fined 150,000 Belarusian roubles ($72 U.S.). Natalya Lutsenko, the head of the administrative commission which fined Pastor Radkevich, declined to explain why an individual had been punished for holding a peaceful religious service. "It is impossible to talk about this case," she told Forum 18. "We don't discuss administrative cases over the phone." Insisting that all religious communities have to register with the authorities before they can function, she hung up. Pastor Radkevich told Forum 18 that the local authorities know that his 50-strong congregation gathers for Sunday worship at a prayer house in Povitye and have previously fined the congregation sums equivalent to about $50 U.S.
KENYA The Boston Globe Gunmen attacked a Pentecostal church radio station, killing one person and setting the building on fire. The Associated Press report, reprinted in The Boston Globe, says church workers, worshippers and curious onlookers gathered outside offices of a Pentecostal radio station in Nairobi, Kenya, on Saturday, May 13, 2006, hours after unidentified gunmen shot and killed one person, wounded two others and torched part of Hope FM during the broadcasting of a program that compared teachings of the Bible and the Koran. One security guard was stabbed and later shot dead during the attack, and another was wounded, according to a passer-by who was shot when he went to look into why the emergency alarm had gone off. The independent Kenya Television Network reported that some of the assailants poured a flammable liquid in some of the offices at the radio station and then set it alight. The eight masked assailants shouted angrily that producers had failed to take their telephone calls. They ordered a technician to take the station off the air, according to church workers. Gideon Kibunjah, a police spokesman, said there had been no arrests, and the identities of the gunmen were unclear. Church leaders pressed the government to quickly investigate the attack and ensure the culprits are prosecuted. "The station is for spreading the good news, and faith comes by hearing the word of God," Anglican Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi said after visiting the station in a show of solidarity with the Pentecostal church. "It is not right to go at the source of the news and commit violent acts."
Pray our loving Father will comfort the family and friends of the guard who was killed. Pray the government will thoroughly investigate the attack and prosecute the culprits. Pray this violence will cause more people to listen to the radio station and come to Christ. the Christians in Belarus will not be intimidated.
