A student enrolled in a native ministry’s theology program recently participated in a class entitled “Preparing for Persecution,” a course that aims to prepare students how to respond when they are persecuted for their faith, particularly within the Middle Eastern context. “The course helped me see that persecution and difficulty are parts of a believer’s life that the Lord uses to help us grow and change into His image,” a student said. “We should expect difficulty and be ready for it.” Donations of $25 or $50 help such evangelism and discipleship needs. Pray these students faithfully follow Jesus even when they walk through fiery trials.

“Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.” (Psalm 42:8)
