This is a heart breaking story about an evangelist and his wife in Worabe, Ethiopia. He was killed by a group of Muslims, and his pregnant wife was beaten. Their threats were that "Christians were growing in number in the area, and they will destroy them."
What surprises me most is the blatant hatred from the Muslims. It is so heart breaking that other believers can not fully express their love and faith in Jesus as openly as we do here in the United States.
I think that here in Texas, we can be more focused on the persecution of overseas missionaries and stand in solidarity of the situation by "persecution simulations". I can always pray, but will never know what it feels like to not be free to practice the religion I want. We could meet in "underground homes" and have secret missions in the community to help share the Word of God and raise awareness on overseas Christian persecution.
