Marc Martel  (left foreground) is the son of a Canadian choir director and the powerfully gifted lead singer of the Christian group DOWNHERE. These talented singers, who all met at Briar Cliff College in Saskatchewan, Canada, are concert favorites all over the U.S. – from church halls to outdoor music events like the three day outdoor Agape Festival at Greenville, Illinois.

Recently, DOWNWHERE (click here for their songs) disbanded for a variety of personal reasons – most of them good. Except one – Martel is off to join the 1980’s rock band on tour QUEEN for a three month tour. His voice sounds eerily like that of Queen’s late singer Freddie Mercury, who died from AIDS a long time ago.

 FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH (IDOP)

JESUS SAID THIS: “Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20).
Today is the International Day of Prayer for the worldwide persecuted church. No matter where you are – church, basement, living room or driving on the interstate on the way to grandma’s, please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, who are suffering most of their lives for the Gospel of Christ. They are tortured, jailed, killed and maimed for just believing in the Gospel of all Love, Truth and Righteousness. Their humble huts; homes and houses of worship are burned down and destroyed by hordes of extremists atheists, moslems, hindus and other dictators as in Myanmar (Burma), Viet Nam, Cuba and Venezuela.
