Prayer

My Greek class is a really fantastic group of prayer partners.

It's made that way by my professor, who begins every class by taking prayer requests, and asking a volunteer to lift up those requests to God.  This "exercise" (I hesitate to call it that) creates a community where we all know about the good and bad that's going on in the lives of our classmates.  Over the last two semesters, we've all seen some really cool answers to prayer.

This morning in class, a Chinese classmate told about a man in China who was put in prison and sentenced to death for preaching Christ to Muslims in China (he converted to Christianity from Islam himself).  He is set to be put to death at the end of this month (which is only a few days away).  He is 35 years old and has two kids and a wife.  If you're reading this, please pray.
