Persecution is a reality for nearly two hundred million Christians around the world.
Daily, they risk their lives simply because they believe in Jesus. They could surrender,
or convert, or quit but the love of Jesus is worth the sacrifice. For many of them,
this road leads to death.
Though persecution is severe, the faithful continue to rise. The church is advancing.
God’s people are risking it all in the name of love. And it is worth it, because love
costs every thing.
