As I've mentioned earlier, Grandma Cybersalt and I are now working with refugees and persecuted Christians, a ministry change from pastoring local congregations. Participation in the Be a Billionaire fund raiser and other donation opportunities here on the Cybersalt site has been helping brother and sisters in Christ who have ended up in the most miserable of conditions for standing firm in their faith. We are thankful for your partnership in this.
One group we have worked a lot with is Christians who have fled Pakistan because of that country's blasphemy laws. This week I watched an excellent video that helps us better understand why they had to flee and are terrified to go back or be forceably returned. This video will also introduce you to some people who need our prayers in the same way Saul needed prayer when he was persecuting the early church. You can watch "Pakistan's Blasphemy Laws" on our AGCRSI website:

Also today, Rev. James Snyder Muses about how smiles are contagious and good for one's health. You can read "A Smile Is Both Contagious and Healthy" at:

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!
