Day 4 Mongolia

DAY 4:

WHAT IF? What if you were fired from your job because you are a Christian—how would you feel?

Imagine…you’ve studied hard for years, graduated, applied for countless positions until you finally landed your “dream job”. Everything was going great, until you were asked one simple question.

“So what did you do on the weekend?” your boss asks.

You hesitate to answer, but then reply honestly, “I went along to my church’s camp and spent time reading the Bible and worshiping God. It was a great time.”

Your boss frowns, eyebrows furrowing, he takes a step backwards and says: “You’ve got to be kidding? So you’re one of those Christians?”

As you respond “yes” he quickly turns and strides down the hallway in a huff.

That night you receive a phone call. Your boss apologises that the company will have to “let you go” due to a conflict of interests.

You are living in a country where you have limited rights as a Christian and very little job opportunities.

What would you do?
