My pastors occasionally tell of an young Iranian who worked with them for several months on a missionary team (Operation Mobilisation) in Europe in the early 1970s. At the time, he found it difficult on occasion to speak openly of Christ to Muslim expatriates, knowing that to do so could put his and his family's lives in jeopardy. But the Lord caused him to grow in confidence and he later returned to his homeland as a Christian pastor, where he boldly preached Christ until his martyrdom in 1994. You might want to read the defense of the Gospel he was enabled to give at his trial.

Our faithful Savior will enable his people to stand at their hour of testing.

In Christ,
Paul S
