Pray
Got this sms from a close friend. Apparently, Pastor Ferdie Flores, a missionary to East Timor would be executed by beating tomorrow. I'm not sure how genuine is this piece of news. No matter what, please pray. He is from FGA as forwarded.
This is a rumour...thanx to those who took the initiative to check it up and inform all of us. Really appreciate it. Do continue to pray for the missionaries your church supports. God bless

I am praying and have posted this request here for others to join in online prayer.
THE LORD THAT DELIVERED PETER WILL DELIVER FLORES.BUT AND IF HE DECIDES TO MAKE HIM LIKE STETHEN,PAUL,JAMES AND THOMAS, GLORY BE TO GOD.WE ARE PRAYING
Living in Malaysia has always been such a blessing as our government doesn't restrict non-muslims to worship any God of their choice. Lately, there is a awakening among our Muslim brothers and sisters...I somehow feel that the Christians in Malaysia will soon have to go through some degree of persecution. I pray that it would not be as bad as what is happening in Indonesia but if that is to happen, it is to glorify God. Bearing that in mind, I pray that our faith will not fade and fail. Pls pray for this region of South East Asia..God bless
this is a rumour. I am living in Timor Leste and have not heard news of a pastor to be beaten to death. I don't think there is such a capital punishment as "beaten to death". TL may be a young nation but not a barbaric one.
Rumors of exicution false according to fbc's website

Prayer requested for the flores as they face continued persecution from other religions on the island.
Glad I checked this out before circulating it! Good to Pray for these Countries & People, but no point in picking up on rumours and untruths. Thanks to Bridge and Em.

Apparantly the report is inaccurate, I have gone onto their website and a banner says that he is not going to be executed - Thank God.
I have just been onto the website of Ferdie Flores and there is a scrolling message that says the rumour of his execution are inaccurate, thank the Lord!
Hi i'm from Mauritius. Thanks God that this was simply a rumour!The one who propagate this rumour must not feel proud of himself, it's just a mischievous thing to do!!!!!
The sms message made the round in Nigeria. Exucution by beating is strange in history. Thank God its all rumour. However the spread of the gospel started with the shedding of the blood of Christ himself.We will continue to pray.
I have recieved this text this morning from the minister from My church and I am praying for this Guy so much
Missionaries are very much in need of prayers and support from all of us. If your church sponsors any, pray for them. Pray for all who are serving God in one way or another. Thanx. God bless
hi brothers and sister in Christ.
my name is SHANE BECKINGHAM
I just want to refer you to an UPDATE on Ps. Flores @ the FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH's Website - http://www.fbc-misawa.org/missionaries/Flores.htm
this church has been incontact with people closely connected to Ps. Flores & has confirmed that although he and his family are being PERSECUTED, he is NOT being EXECUTED.
So may we keep praying for Him and his family still! Praise God people are praying for them through all this! This has encouraged me in Prayer for the Nations :-)
You can check my blog to see more information about this - http://www.4myking.blogspot.com

Any idea on who's having itnetrst in spreading things like this?
I would think that maybe it is not a rumour spread on purpose but a miscommunication, PERSECUTION not EXECUTION...they sound almost the same. Thanx Shane for updating us. Like he said, do continue to pray.
i got the sms of the execution in brisbane, sent it to two mates then got home tonight and fished out on the net that it was fake!!! thanks to God he is still alive. And We should pray for him regardless. God Bless, Your brother in christ, -Kris W.
Martyr's are always delivered, either back into this world, or healed and alive in the perfect world with God!
Thank God this is just a rumor but may we continue to lift Pstr.Flores & fam up in prayer as they do God's work in this trouble region.May God bless us all.
