Fiery trials in Laos   Pastor Phouang has a passionate calling to take the gospel to a minority people group in Laos. But his ministry has led to arrest and repeated intimidation. Read more of his inspiring story—and those of other Christians in Laos—in the latest edition of Release International’s magazine Voice.

Prison walls to speak one more time   Have you seen Artless Theatre Company’s If Prison Walls Could Speak? This captivating production tells the story of Petr Jasek, who was imprisoned in Sudan for more than a year after visiting persecuted Christians in that country. You have one last chance to see this powerful play! A finale performance will be taking place at Kensington Temple in London on the evening of Thursday, May 22 (7:30 pm). To book tickets click here.

Providence and Persecution Release International will soon be launching a new book, titled Providence and Persecution. It looks at the very important—and practical—theme of God’s sovereign providence and how this helps us respond to the painful reality of the persecution of Christians. To pre-order (£10, including postage) contact us on: 01689 823491.

We will also be at Bible By The Beach over the first May Bank Holiday weekend (May 2 – 5). If you, your family and perhaps your church are going to be at any of these events—do come to our stand and say hello!
