Why We Serve
Sometimes, in all the statistics on persecution, we forget the faces behind the numbers. It is almost unbelievable that 160,000 die each year because they stand for Christ, but let us not forget that each one of those is an individual, a person with hopes and dreams, feeling the pain, and sacrificing everything for the cause of Christ. And so many leave behind them families, women and children with no breadwinner to turn to, who live in abject suffering because of their faith.
I was reminded of the amazing importance of all of this by a simple picture, taken from the inside of a church building in an IDP camp outside of Khartoum.
This is why we serve.
