HIDEOUS PERSECUTION IN PAKISTAN

By Rev. Kaezad Dadachanjee

(Bible Translator and Minister of the Gospel)

A pastor writes of the rape and slavery to which Christian women are subjected in Pakistan.  He tells of nursing mother's breasts cut off so they can't feed their babies, of men being castrated, of being forced to consume  human feces and urine as the "Body and Blood" of Christ.  The Christians are discriminated against, and lack basics of life such as clean food and water and employment.

MASSACRE AT NYANKUNDE

By Dr. William Clemmer

Persecution of Christians in America

By Mary Ann Collins

Compiling materials from many sources, Mary Ann Collins describes persecution of Christians in many different areas of America from the school to the prison.  It may seem unbelievable that such things are happening in America.  Perhaps we must all pay much closer attention and be prepared to help and to oppose such violations against fellow believers.

 

SHARIA LAW

By Jim Searcy

The author lives in the mid-east and is unusually aware of the effects of the religion of Islam in the countries in which it is the dominant religion.  Jim describes how Sharia Law affects those who live under it, how unequally it is applied, and the dominating, dehumanizing effect on women.   He describes how Sharia Law is applied against Christians and Jews.

 

ARRESTED FOR THE GOSPEL

By Jesse Morrell

In a real life tale, Jesse details how he was arrested, even though being polite and willing to do as the authorities asked.  His story shows how many have a desire to quench the Gospel.  Even though the crowd he was preaching to did not want him to stop, the police arrested him anyway.

 

2 DAYS AND 1 NIGHT IN SMITH COUNTY JAIL

By Jesse Morrell

Even though asking the police where he could preach, Jesse was arrested for walking on a sidewalk.  In the jail he was subjected to danger by being put with dangerous inmates.  But the Lord did his own work, using Jesse in the jail to preach.

 

HATED FOR THE NAME -- PERSECUTION FOR PREACHING

By Jesse Morrell

Jesse explores more instances of persecution for preaching the Gospel in America.  Jesse's writing is not theoretical, but of his own experiences in this, the land of the free with guarantees of free speech.  Jesse shows how even though a person may seek to witness and preach within the confines of the law -- asking police where he can preach -- it is no assurance that he may not be arrested and jailed.

 

THE RELIGIOUS VS. THE RIGHTEOUS

By Jesse Morrell

Does persecution come only from unbelievers?  Jesse shows that it is the persecution by those who claim to be Christians that hurts the most.  He also shows the kind of person from whom this comes and why.  You may have experienced this; I hope you have.
