Church doors are kicked open with disturbing frequency in China. Possession of ONE Bible—that’s right, ONE—in North Korea can get you killed. Christians in Iran are kidnapped from their homes overnight and thrown into prison where they are beaten, tortured, and raped before ever seeing a courtroom.
These aren’t edge-of-your-seat headlines. This is life for Jesus followers all over the world.
China, Iran, and North Korea aren’t just restricting Christianity. They’re battling the very concept of religious freedom. North Korea’s nuclear threats keep diplomats and generals in constant discussion about global security. China’s closed society of a million unquestioned executions and unchecked human rights violations has not stopped their rise to a global power with unparalleled military and economic growth in history. Iran bulldogs forward with not only nuclear development, but with public comments praying for Israel to be wiped off the map and anyone who defies them kicked out.
Sanctions. Containment. Billions of dollars later, we stress over these regimes and try to figure out how to stop them.
What if, instead, we spent that kind of time, money, and energy flooding these countries with Christians sending believers (who are equipped, trained, and carrying God’s Word in the native language) into the darkness?
Time after time we’ve seen that the sword doesn’t win hearts and minds; the Truth does.
Watch this quick video about this:
Respond with love. Respond with truth. Respond with the hope of Jesus.
