Day 19 Mexico

DAY 19:

WHAT IF? Your church was continually subject to mob violence—would you still meet?

Imagine if each week, your church building is surrounded by mobs of local people who are determined to harass and persecute believers until they leave the village.

They throw stones at the windows and yell out slanderous words against Jesus. They collect copies of local Bibles and burn them on the church steps. One week, posters were taped all over the outside of the church building, warning that anyone who enters will be killed. This is the only church in the area and the pastor is determined for the congregation to continue meeting.

What would you do in this situation?
