Only way to know

Thank you for making me aware of the religious persecution of many of my Christian brothers and sisters in other countries.

At first, I, too, felt like letter writer Charlie Jones, Madison, Ala., regarding the fact that the majority of the news reported in the World of Religion column in The Alabama Baptist was negative.

But then I realized this is the only way I will know of these persecutions because the secular press will not report this type of news.

These people who are giving up homes, families, freedom and even their lives are in great need of our prayer support, and your column is an excellent way of making Christians aware of these needs.

Keep up the good work.
