The Ministry of Encouragement

The ministry of encouragement is a powerful and much needed ministry. Usually the one ministering in such a way has no idea just how healing their words really are. Encouragement is one ministry that every believer is called to in this journey together as the bride of Christ. While we all need encouragement, some circumstances create a deeper need than others. Even a simple note can mean so much to one enduring the trials God has laid out for one's own good. Encouragement to stay strong, keep the faith, stand firm. It will not improve our situation, but it serves to improve us in our situation assisting us in Christian growth. All of this to say, we have found a wonderful opportunity for just this type of service to the church and to our Lord.




Through Voice of the Martyrs, we can write letters to our brothers and sisters in prison, in their own languages. We may never know the impact of such a loving letter. Prisoners will be able to witness to their guards about the family of Christ, which is not separated by country borders. To write a letter to a Christian in prison and to find out how you can e-mail government officials on their behalf, visit www.prisoneralert.com - you will find complete instructions on how to contact these brothers and sisters in a way that does not endanger their lives.
