We the People have become a calloused lot. . . having attended a Voice of the Martyrs Conference in Indiana last weekend . . . I had to ask the Lord for forgiveness for not faithfully praying for those being persecuted.
Everyone needs to go to the Voice of the Martyrs website. The inhumanity towards people of Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is incomprehensible.
As a missionary who has recently lived in the slums of India - I can attest that what you saw heard at that conference is not only a fraction of what is actually going on out there - but the worst things, things that you can never erase from your mind were only hinted at.
My eyes were opened and we Americans ARE NOT ready to handle what the poorest people on earth are capable of enduring with their faith intact.
