Greetings Steentay, The Bible tells us to pray for all of the Christians in the world who are being oppressed and suffering persecution because of their faith in the Lord (Hebrews 13:3, Matthew 25:34-40, Matthew 5:10, 1 Peter 3:13-17, 1 Peter 4:12-14). There are a few very good internet websites where we can read, learn, and even participate in remembering those who are currently suffering in Jesus's name: (http://www.persecution.com, http://www.christianpersecution.info/). A lot of persecution and Christian suffering is brought on by the hands of anti-Christian groups and governments that are seeking to proselytize their peoples in a militaristic way, forcing them to choose to follow a specific religion. In the United States of America, we largely have the freedom of following whichever creed that we care to follow, as long as that creed does not violate the freedom of another. But there are many in this world who live in places that are not tolerant of religious freedoms, and people who are Christians suffer at the hands of those who fear the spread of Christianity. But Christianity has never been something that should stay with one person, but to be spread and communicated and translated to everything and everyone. Most Christians are not as informed about Christian persecution that is happening in the greater world. But in today's society, and with the coming of the internet, we now have the means of being able to be more aware of what is happening, and be able to make a difference through the websites that I have mentioned above, and through prayer, which has always been the most important service that we can render to those in persecution. Blessings to you, Makarios |
