Kabul, Afghanistan - November 29, 2014.
Werner Groenewald was a pastor and teacher living the Great Commission in a war-torn nation. His teenage children, Jean-Pierre and Rodé, served alongside him. That morning, the Taliban stormed their compound. Gunfire. Smoke. Silence.
Yet this is not a story of defeat - it’s a story of victory.
The Groenewald family didn’t die for a cause; they lived for a Kingdom. And even their final breath echoed eternity.
In this episode of MTN.fire, Matt shares a powerful message about faith under fire, the cost of obedience, and the hope that outlives death itself.
🔥 Scripture: Hebrews 12 : 2 - “Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith…”
Takeaway: When your eyes are on eternity, death loses its power. The Gospel isn’t about avoiding risk, it’s about eternal reward. The Groenewalds remind us that courage isn’t loud. It’s steadfast.
