Persecution of Workers in Russia

THE following word has been received from one of our workers in Russia: “Last night I received word that two of our ministers in Odessa had been arrested, and banished to Siberia. No reason was assigned for this action. A third young brother fled to another part of Russia. We have lost four workers from Odessa recently. Another young man has been put in prison because he wishes to obey God rather than man. Looking at the future from a human standpoint, it would appear rather dark; but viewing it with the eyes of faith, we know God will work it out for his glory. We are not allowed as ministers, to visit our churches. We can only lay hold on the arm of Almighty God to help us over the rough places. I had very good word from Brother Oster, in Persia. The workers are well, having had, means enough to carry them through. The Kurds are ravishing the country, and killing the Christians. However, the Lord has protected our people. Pray for us.”
