Remember Ambassadors

It's one thing to lay your own life on the altar - one horrible, painful, ultimate sacrifice - but it is another thing entirely to sacrifice the needs of your family, as well.  I have to wonder how many martyrs, as they willingly lay down there lives for Jesus, think of their families as they die.  Even Jesus, as he was on the cross, made provision for His mother!

Today I read a story about a man who was able to provide for his family, knowing that persecution was coming.

“I know that if they decide to kill me as a martyr, you will care for my wife and my children,” the father of two told the Iranian pastor last month.

Read the whole story here. 

That certainly reminded me of the work that Remember is doing, and just how important it is that we continue to care for the widows and orphans of martyrs.
