In some nations, it is illegal to own a Bible, to share one’s faith in Christ, and even teach one’s children about Jesus Christ. Those who boldly follow Christ, in spite of government decree or opposition, can face harassment, arrest, torture and even death.

“For the third year in a row, the modern persecution of Christians worldwide has hit another record high” according to Christianity Today (Persecution in the Early Church).
