August has largely been a month of staying put in Birmingham, preparing for my church visits which begin the first weekend of September. Whilst in Karagwe I did not sort my photos into titled folders on my computer so I had a huge task to face even before thinking about preparing a Power Point presentation! It did make me feel sad on occasions, and certainly homesick for Karagwe...

September 1st 2010 marks the 10th Anniversary of the ministry of Preach The Word. Over the next 10 days we'll be featuring a sermon from each of our 10 years of ministry. Visit the site today to see the first featured sermon from the year 2000, and then take a stroll down memory lane to see what our site looked like at launch, in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Thank you to all our visitors for your encouragement and support throughout the last decade. We look forward, in the will of God, to another 10 years of preaching the Word online and sharing the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Join us for the first of our series of studies entitled 'Life In The Spirit'. David Legge takes us through the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians, seeking to bring us helpful guidelines for living the Christian life. In this first study, we are asked whether our Christian life is a life of 'Religion Or Relationship?'. Many believers, particularly those who deeply desire to obey God, live their lives in a legalistic manner. Is your Christian experience one of a performance-based set of religious rules, which rob you of your joy? Or do you have a vibrant relationship with God? This sermon is available now in MP3, WMA, video and text formats...

The featured sermon for September is 'The Eyes Of The Lord', while our featured study series 'The Holy War' looks at the Christian warrior's armour. Our featured evangelistic message is entitled 'The Hardened Heart'...

Members of a home-based church in the city of Ahvaz are worried about one of their own who has not been heard from since his arrest, Worthy News has learned.By Joseph C. DeCaro, Worthy News International Correspondent
AHVAZ, IRAN (Worthy News)-- Members of a home-based church in the city of Ahvaz are worried about one of their own who has not been heard from since his arrest, Worthy News has learned.
The 27 year-old Neshan Saeedi was arrested by plain-clothes security forces that entered his house on July 24.
The security officers searched his home and seized personal belongings: a computer, CDs of Christian seminars and teachings, Christian books, Bibles, and family photo albums.
Saeedi's family was taken to Chaharshir detention center in Ahvaz for several hours of questioning and harsh interrogation. Security officers said they were apostates who were unworthy of raising their 6 year-old daughter, and if they continued their Christian activities, they might lose custody of her. They were also accused of anti-government activities by acting as agents of foreign powers.
After the interogation, the wife and daughter were released, but no one has seen Saeedi since.
After the arrest, members of the home-based church who fellowshipped with Saeedi have scattered and disbanded. Security agents are desperately seeking two other leaders of the church while Saeedi is presumed to be under great pressure to reveal the names of all church members.
CHRISTIANITY SPREADING
Elam Ministries, an organization supporting churches in Iran, has linked the crackdown on Christians to concern among Iran's leaders about the spread of Christianity in the Islamic nation. "Because Iran is a strategic gateway nation, the growing church in Iran will impact Muslim nations across the Islamic world."
The group said recently that in 1979, there were less than 500 known Christians from a Muslim background in Iran. "Today the most conservative estimate is that there are at least 100,000 believers in the nation."
The perceived hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has come under international pressure to improve religious rights and abandon his nuclear program. He has denied wrongdoing.
