NEWS FLASH: "Syrian Rebels Execute Christian Villagers," - CBNNews.com, September 12, 2013; http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2013/September/Syrian-Rebels-Execute-Christian-Villagers/ - Syrian rebel fighters apparently executed three Christians fleeing the fighting in Maaloula this week, Britain's Sky News reported.
Hundreds of Christians held a funeral in Damascus for the men, who were cousins. Sky News reports the men were trying to escape the Christian town of Maaloula, which has been under attack by rebel troops. The men reportedly were killed by forces with the al Qaeda linked Jabha al-Nour. Mourners say two of the victims had their throats cut and another was shot. Most of the mourners are also refugees from Maaloula, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. [PRAY for the Christians throughout Syria who face greater persecution should rebels, particularly Islamists along the line of the Muslim Brotherhood, end up in charge of the country.]

They say military action against the Assad regime will only bring them greater hardship and suffering and they're asking Christians worldwide to pray that God intervenes to bring peace to their nation. They believe the collective prayers of Christians around the world could reverse an escalating conflict..."

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the United States is "willing to consider a number of different options" to bring him home.In a video recently released by a North Korean newspaper, Bae requested the United States send a high-ranking official to North Korea to seek his pardon. It is unclear if he spoke of his own volition in the video. Bae, 45, was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for sharing his faith. He suffers health problems such as diabetes and is currently hospitalized.[PRAY for 1) God's healing of and presence with Pastor Bae, 2) His earliest release by the North Korean government, and 3) God's comfort for his family and friends.]

“Abandoned” For Christ" - Graham Calls On White House To Support Abedini - By Dr. Tom Askew, Aug.8, http://www.presidentialprayerteam.com/opinion
Franklin Graham is the latest to join the chorus of voices calling for U.S. State Department and White House officials to take a more vocal role in protesting the Iranian imprisonment of American pastor Saeed Abedini. September 26 will mark the one year anniversary of Abedini’s imprisonment for allegedly “endangering the national security” of Iran.
Graham pointed out that, in contrast to Iranian accusations, “Pastor Saeed was in Iran trying to help children. With the permission of Iran’s government, he was working to build an orphanage. But his humanitarian mission led to an arrest on bogus charges and nearly a year of inhumane treatment, simply because he loves Jesus Christ.”...
Behind the scenes, more than 600,000 people around the world have signed a petition sponsored by ACLJ in support of pastor Abedini. A concerted movement this past May brought together Christians from many nations to set aside Pentecost to pray for Abedini. On June 13, demonstrations were held at Iranian embassies in at least six countries to protest Abedini’s treatment. And, on July 29, Arizona Republican Representative Trent Franks spoke on the floor of the House to urge other Congressmen to join him in “adopting” Pastor Abedini through the bipartisan Defending Freedoms Project.
Saeed’s response…and yours - Through his family living in Iran, Pastor Abedini has been made aware of these efforts on his behalf, and is grateful. “I heard that the persecution, my arrest and imprisonment has united churches from different denominations, from different cities and countries. That the churches have united together in prayer to put one request (my freedom) on one day (Pentecost) before God,” he wrote in a letter.
The story of Saeed Abedini, the jihad against Syrian Christians, the attacks on Coptic Christians in Egypt, and the ongoing desecration of churches in Nigeria and India should cause every American to reflect on the blessings of freedom still enjoyed in this nation.
PRAY: - For comfort and peace for Saeed’s wife and children here in the U.S.
- For a strong witness and testimony from Pastor Abedini in the prison where God has placed him
- For Christians around the world who are being persecuted for their faith in Christ
- BOLDly (Beside Our Leaders Daily) for leadership from the White House and State Department in defending the freedoms of Abedini and other Americans
Go to SaveSaeed.org to sign a petition over 600,000 others asking for his immediate release.

"National Day to Remember Aborted Children a Reminder of Babies Abortion Kills," - by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 9/13/13 http://www.lifenews.com/2013/09/13/national-day-to-remember-aborted-children-a-reminder-of-babies-abortion-kills/
Tens of thousands of pro-life people will participate in the National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children tomorrow at over 100 locations nationwide. The event, held at actual burial places of aborted babies and other memorial sites, will serve as a powerful reminder of how abortion kills children.
The event (http://abortionmemorials.com/) marks the 25th anniversary of the burial of 1200 aborted babies at Holy Cross Cemetery in Milwaukee.
“I encourage you to attend a service at a gravesite if you can. Our presence right there where the victims are buried is a powerful witness to the humanity of these poor, innocent children,” says Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League. “I hope you’ll join me tomorrow as we mourn for all the babies who have lost their lives to legal abortion in our country and rededicate ourselves to fighting for their protection.”
As far back as 1980 the remains of aborted babies have been discovered and retrieved from abortion clinic dumpsters by local pro-lifers—and thus a fraction of the millions of unborn children aborted nationwide have found their way into human cemeteries.
Monica Miller, who is coordinating the event in Michigan, talked more about the history of unborn babies getting memorial services.
“In 1980 the earliest burial of five aborted babies in Michigan occurred when the bodies of 4 aborted babies were found in a storage locker at a Detroit hospital and another baby tossed in an alley near an abortion clinic in Oakland County,” she said. “They are buried at White Chapel cemetery in Troy.
“The most recent retrievals of the bodies of aborted children occurred in 2008 and in the year 2010. The bodies found in 2008 were aborted at the Woman Care clinic in Lathrup Village owned by now retired abortionist Alberto Hodari and the Women’s Advisory clinic in Livonia, operated by abortionist Reginald Sharpe and closed in March 2013,” Miller continued. “The aborted babies were tossed in dumpsters by clinic staff with hundreds of patient records and excessive bio-hazard waste which prompted investigations of both clinics by the Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality.”
Miller continued: “In February 2010 pro-lifer Chris Veneklase searched the trash dumpster used by the Womens Choice clinic in Lansing and found the remains of 17 aborted babies, the mothers’ names and dates of the abortions were written on the bags that contained them. This discovery prompted a year-long investigation of the clinic and its sister clinic, WomensChoice in Saginaw by the Michigan Attorney General’s office in which it was discovered that the clinics were improperly incorporated. Both clinics were forced to cease operations. The 17 aborted babies were buried Nov. 20, 2010 at Saint Joseph cemetery in Lansing. The cemetery contains another grave of aborted children retrieved in 1989 from the dumpster of Hodari’s Woman Care clinic in Lansing.”
“All of these unborn children met a terrible, violent death in legalized abortion. Their bodies were then literally thrown away in the trash. Members of our group retrieved many of these babies from clinic dumpsters and trash cans,” she concluded. “This desecration of life is happening in America today –right now–under the unjust law of Roe versus Wade! Since 1973 over 50 million unborn children have been killed. Only a small fraction of these victims were humanely buried because pro-lifers took them from the trash. These graves puncture the American landscape and are a tragic and visible reminder that we must end the injustice of abortion. On September 14th these memorial services, right at the graves of the victims, will be a powerful public witness to our nation that abortion truly kills innocent human beings and serve as a call for justice, healing and forgiveness.”
