Stories

Those who work with the
Persecuted Church,

Strengthening the weak hands,
Educating, encouraging, helping,

Hear daily stories of
Horrific murder.

We watched in shock
The scores of photos:

First drawings of the apostles,
Then photos from this year:

Crucifixions, beheadings,
Burning children in cages.

Two thousand years of
Violence and hatred.

Those who work with the
Persecuted Church,

Strengthening the weak hands,
Educating, encouraging, helping,

Hear daily stories of
Incredible miracles.

The wife and children
Who studied the Word

In secret during the day
While the husband was at work.

He surprised them once,
Coming home for lunch.

They hid the Bible in the oven
And then prayed.

He cooked a fish in the oven,
And returned to work.

They opened the oven
And found the Bible, unseen and safe.

The young man, shot by his father
In both legs because he converted.

Left paralyzed, he lived seven years in a mental hospital,
Visited once a week by his mother

Until one day Jesus in the flesh
Joined them, took the man by the hand, and said,

Rise and walk and come with me.
And he rose, and walked, and left the hospital.

The son serves the Savior

And the mother bears witness.
