Faith in action

James 2:25-26 (Message translation)
"The same with Rahab, The Jericho harlot. Wasn't her action in hiding God's spies and helping them escape-
that seamless unity of believing and doing- what counted with God?
The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse.
Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse.

Day 11

Taken from prisoneralert.com :


Location: Afghanistan
Arrested: May 2010
Days Imprisoned: 227


On May 24, Said Musa was arrested by government authorities in Afghanistan following a television broadcast that showed Christian baptisms and worship, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts.

Musa has openly professed his faith, and he was interrogated about his conversion to Christianity on national television in June. Musa’s wife has visited him in prison. “Musa told his wife that he has been under serious pressure to disclose details about people and NGO’s,” VOM contacts said. “During the third week of August he was moved to another prison and interrogated and beaten again.” Prior to his arrest, Said was employed by the Red Cross/ Red Crescent Society for 16 years. 



Today I sent a letter of encouragement to Said Musa.
