Persecution. Jesus said that His followers should expect it (John 15:20; 2 Tim. 3:12) and that those who experience it are blessed (Matt. 5:10–12).
In our First World society, persecution may mean mocking, slander, or
alienation from friends and family. However, the church extends far
beyond our circles to include dozens of countries around the world. In
much of the Majority World, Christians are experiencing persecution in
the form of harassment, beatings, and even martyrdom.
The Risk of Belief
Over the past fifteen years, my work has been primarily focused on
evangelism, disciple-making, and church planting in places where those
activities are either strongly discouraged or even outlawed.
Specifically, I have worked alongside national believers in South and
Southeast Asia reaching out with the gospel to Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist,
and Sikh people groups. Many of my national partners were raised in
those religions, but came to repentance and faith in Christ through the
bold spread of the gospel. Continue at George Robinson
