You are presenting briefly about the persecution, torture and murder of Christians in the early years after Jesus' resurrection. Though Canada is a relatively safe and peaceful country, we need to be aware that many Christians in many countries are being martyred today. How should knowing about their suffering affect us?
Voice of the Martyrs Canada is a Christian group that prays for persecuted Christians around the world and informs the church about their suffering. Today, I will introduce you to Pastor Wurmbrand. He lived in Hungary when the nation suffered under communism. He was imprisoned and tortured, along with many other Christians, just for being Christian. Though his testimony will seem very old to you, being in the 1960's, this kind of persecution is killing Christians in many countries around the world today.
