War!

The war is on! Actually it began the moment Satan rebelled, before humans even touched the earth. Because of Christ, man is now able to be saved and is no longer at enmity with God when they trust that Jesus took away our punishment on the cross. So where does that leave us today?

Sudan:
A team of Christians are booted out with threats of death promising. They are exiled to Tanzania until they find out if the village will let them live amongst them.

Middle East:
Public executions are a "public" event every Friday as people who have committed sexual immorality or are found out as "infidels" of Islam. The good news does not penetrate here without blood shed.

South Asia:
Countless times Buddhist nations declare, "Westerners are not wanted here!". But what does a follower of Jesus do when he knows they need the gospel? Does he cower away and slip into the pulpit? No, he or she acknowledges Jesus is worth the persecution.

Risk: “You do not evaluate a risk by the probability of success but by the value of the goal.” ~ Ralph Winter.

The war is worth fighting; for His name's sake.
