—Hebrews 11:32-40
by: Jerry Johnson.
Our congregation has teamed up with another local church in holding a monthly night of prayer for the "Persecuted Church." We show videos and read accounts from organizations like Open Doors with Brother Andrew or Voice of the Martyrs. The accounts of the suffering are chilling, especially in China and Islamic republics of the Middle East. But equally astounding to us is the news of revival spreading through these countries. Just as the early church grew out of persecution, the Gospel is having the greatest impact in areas where the cost is the greatest. North America is prosperous and free. But are we really so blessed after all?
