What if someone asks you about Jesus, just after your friend has been beaten by local guerrillas, because he told someone about Jesus?

Day 5
As I read in The Light in the Dark 21-Day devotional booklet today, Christians in Colombia do need a showering of prayer for protection.

Could you imagine living in a country where it is estimated that someone dies every 20 minutes in an act of political violence? It’s a place where guerrilla forces control almost 40 percent of the country.

As mentioned in the booklet, it’s not unusual for corruption, blackmailing, kidnapping and revenge murders to occur. The faith and perseverance of the persecuted Christians encourage me a lot.

Imagine if you had recently visited your friend in hospital, after he was violently beaten by local guerrillas just because he had shared about Jesus, would you still be willing to share Jesus with a friend? What about a stranger on the street?

How much would you risk for Jesus?
