“It went different than I had planned. He [God] decided to change everything for this one soul. I was just a spectator.”
“North Korean secret believers can’t celebrate Christmas publicly. If their secret celebrations of Christmas are discovered, that can lead to their whole family being arrested..”
Daniela’s dad, a pastor, was shot and killed for standing up to powerful drug gangs. Could you share this Christmas with her?
“What helped me to stand strong was the Word of God, which says: ‘He will never leave or forsake you’. With that in mind, I left everything behind, even if it would make me unhappy.”
“I am not afraid of the guerrillas. I know that God is with me and He gives me the strength to carry His gospel and will always protect me…”
“Even though we all experienced much suffering and persecution, my parents raised me and my siblings as Christians. I have kept the faith so far through your powerful prayers!”
“Sadly, any kind of Christian activities becomes illegal in the eyes of the Buddhist community and the government.”
“I prayed in tears, asking Jesus to give me a new life, a life as His servant.”
“God was the source of my strength in my suffering. It’s only God’s strength that enabled me to stand strong”…
