Christians are being beaten in China
In China Christians are being thrown in jail and beaten almost to death because they are preaching the word of God and selling Bibles. Even the inmates are beating other inmates.
One of the teen age Muslims was beaten by her own father because he wanted he to stay a Muslim. He held a knife to her and threatened her. He tried to force he to marry a Muslim man, but she didn’t was to marry this man. She tried to plead with her father and ask for his forgiveness, but he didn’t forgive her. So, she ran away and is in hiding but she is still willing to share her testimony with others.
When I think about these people in there countries like China and Iran. I think about how privileged we are to live in a free country, were we can worship God without fearing for our lives. Being able to read or Bibles and talk about God in public with out worrying that someone will come up and start beating us and throw us in jail.
It saddens me that Christians in China, Iran and also other countries have to live every day in fear that if the police find heir hide out they could be killed.
