One of the most powerful events I’ve ever been a part of is a bible study called Secret Church. Gathering with thousands of believers across the globe to study the word of God together for an extended period of time is an incredible experience. The first time I attended this event, I was not prepared for how emotionally effected I would be knowing that I was part of a global event that included those in countries who at that very moment were risking their lives to study God’s word. As we prayed for the persecuted church that night, it was the first moment I had ever done that and it was a moving experience. What was so incredible was that these precious saints were not asking that we pray for their deliverance, but for their faithfulness to the gospel that put their lives at risk. I remember realizing just how deficient my faith was in light of theirs. I was so challenged by their attitude and their endurance. My life was forever changed that evening. As we’ll see today, that faithfulness is has been the legacy of martyrs for the faith since the very beginning.
