Showing God’s Love By Sharing His Faith
“Living in one of the most dangerous cities in the Middle East left little room for compromise. Regardless of the cost, Peter, his name was changed for security purposes, had such a burning passion for his community to know Jesus that he shared his faith everywhere with an unrestricted boldness. After leaving home one morning, he returned back to his wife’s side to ask if she needed anything. Somehow she knew in that moment, she would never again see him alive. Three days passed before word finally came to the family that Peter had been shot nine times by religious fanatics and his body left dead in a sand pile on the outskirts of town. His wife shared that a few weeks earlier Peter had been warned ‘we know you have come to be a fisher of men but we will become hunters of your life.’ He left his family with no money, no property, no cars and no cash. However, the one thing that remained as his legacy was his well-read, tattered Bible, full of underlined and highlighted texts. A man of the Word who took his calling to evangelize the lost seriously and was counted worthy to die for Christ. Today Peter’s wife carries on her husband’s passion for the lost, standing as a bedrock of the local church, reaching out to those in need with material goods and the Word.” - Shared by a ministry partner in the Middle East
