Philippines
Good
news from Bishop Anthony of the Philippine Islands:
Dear
Bishop+ Ogles:
Hello!
I just arrived from Tabuk after consecrating the Chapel made out of cogon in
Nambaran. Its exciting to see plenty of kids attending the service. On the
opposite village, the whole community invited us to schedule a service in the
place. Their sincerity was confirmed by the willingness of one couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Nestor Binnuloc, to donate a portion of land for the purpose. I instructed
The Rev. Sherwin to arrange a schedule of service in that place. Thank you
again for your continuous prayer over our ministry here.
In
Christ Jesus,
Anthony

Islam – The Religion of Peace™
Kasur, Punjab: 4 November 2014.
(PCP)
A pregnant Christian woman named Shama Bibi and her husband named Shahzad Masih were burnt alive in Brick
Kiln by a Muslim mob on allegations of blasphemy at 0700 today.
Shahzad Masih aged 36 along with
his wife and four children was working as brick kiln workers for living in
Chack number 59, near Kot RadaKishan, in Kasur district of Punjab province of
Pakistan after migrating from his native village.
On early morning of November 4,
2014, the mosque loudspeakers of five surrounding villages were used to call
Muslim to gather and teach lesson to blasphemer Christian couple who were
alleged of burning pages of Quran by one Brick kiln factory Muslim employee.
The Muslim mob tortured Shahzad
Masih and his wife Shama Bibi and threw them on looming flames of Brick Kiln
factory until they burnt alive.
While the Christian couple was burning and crying of innocence, the
Muslim mob was shouting “Allah hu Akbar” “death to blasphemer” “kill infidel
Christians” on which Christian residents of five villages near Chack Number 59,
fled away from their homes to safe life.
According to information, police
reached on scene from nearby Police Check Post but turned their eyes and made
no attempt to save Christian couple from burning alive.
Brick Kiln factory owner Yousaf
Gujjar and his manager instigated Muslims of nearby villages to punish Shahzad
Masih and his wife Shama Bibi after their Muslim employee on complain of

the needs of others we may show forth our love and gratitude to thee. Through

The Anglican Orthodox
Church - Pakistan
Kenneth Gill of Lahore, Pakistan, who is
filling the large shoes of his father, the Rev. Younis Gill, who ministered to
the church in Lahore. Kenneth is serving the members of Lahore and is taking
theological courses from our seminary in Pakistan. Rev Younis Gill went to sleep in God on 4 December of 2013.
This is a huge undertaking and only with God is it possible, even then
it is hard! Give Kenneth the
perseverance required.
The Anglican Orthodox Church in
Narowal, Pakistan had its wall boundary collapse due to heavy rain on 5
July 2014. Water from the street
is entering into the church compound which may damage the church building.
Please pray for our priest and his wife as they try to reconstruct the wall
boundary as soon as possible in order to prevent further damage.
India

Anniversary of the India Diocese of our Church in South India. Throughout the area they will have
prayer and would like us to join with them as they pray for the Completion of a

Christians in the Central African Republic
are experiencing the ravages of a war between the Muslim and Christians. We

African Republic. Please pray for God’s guidance and protection for all
persecuted Christians and those around them.
Diocese of the Epiphany
Saint Paul’s, Moberly, Missouri would
like your prayers that the Holy Ghost might enter more fully into their hearts
so that they might be more effective in spreading the Word of God.
Diocese of Virginia
Saint Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Orthodox
Church is under a lot of stress.
We all are, but they need even more prayer. Rev Roger Jessup, their wonderful minister, is pressed by
the duties of a primary care giver, in addition to all the worries of this
world. They have one of their
family’s primary breadwinners who will be soon unemployed, absent His
intervention. As Rev Roger said so
eloquently, "We must pray for those who mean us harm and deprive us of our
property are our enemies: Our LORD has so commanded us." We must pray they will see light and
cleave to it while turning their backs on the Prince of this World. Equally important, we must pray that
the Lord will raise up a political leader from among us as He has done in the
past. Pray also for trust in God for
each member of the parish and for them to find economic relief.
Armed Forces & Contractors
Kristyna Thomas (Fort Bragg, SC –

Jersey), Trevor Di Marco (USN – Whidbey Island, EF-18 Pilot), Kurt Thomas (USN

For Our
Country
Our country has lost its
way. Over half the people that
vote, voted for a government that promises them things it cannot deliver in
return for their souls which it can, will and does take. Our foreign policy backs the rise of
Islam, we turn our backs on those who would follow God and arm those who murder
them. Pray God will raise up a
leader from among the people who can turn the country’s course 180° and attempt
to come back to God. Pray the
people will recognize that they are headed down a smooth wide road into the
pit, a road that will get smoother and smoother, steeper and steeper until the
only possible way is down. Down,
into the depths of the pit. Pray
people will recognize there is:
·
One True and Triune God who is goodness in and
of Himself
·
All religions are not equal
·
All ways of life are not equal;
·
The Bible holds the Key to Life;
·
All rights come from God, not the State;
·
Good;
·
Bad;
·
Evil;
·
Right;
·
Wrong;
·
Allah is the Devil;
·
Abortion is no more than sacrifice of children
to Baal.
Pray this recognition will
not come too late. Pray we will,
each of us, do our duty to God, Country and Family, putting His Honor above
all.
Persecuted
Around the
world, Christians are under attack, not only in the Muslim world, but from
Hindus and others in India. Also,
they are under continual attack in the name of “Separation of Church and State”
in the western world, as it becomes actively atheist or pro-devil buddy. Please pray for God’s guidance and
protection for all persecuted Christians and those around them.

priest Rev. Ehab Ayoub. The people
of Egypt, the people of the United States need our prayers, even more so the
people of the Muslim Brotherhood that they might repent of their evil and know
God so the rest of the people may live in peace.
We ask that
you pray, please ask God that the Holy Ghost might give you insight into how
you might make the lives of your friends and family better. Remember helping others is not just
those who you don’t know!
Please join
us in praying that the Free Teen Guitar
