World Missions, III, Persecution

About 200 million Christians in the world are exposed to religions persecution. In 60 countries. North Korea is the worst offender. It is one of the top three crimes to be a Christian there. They will imprison you, then run you over with a steam roller (because bullets=money) as you family watches and screams, they will blow your brains out on a child's playground as the children watch on, and as if this was not bad enough they place your children into prison camps for life because of your crime. Oh yeah, not just your children but your grandchildren too. Not even Stalin or Hitler punished crimes by punishing sucessive generations of people.

Furthermore, a good amount of Chinese persecution happens on behalf of N. Korea. The other portion of persecution in China is directed toward the democratic movement that is closely related to Christian movement. (Maybe because of Westernism in the movement.) The Chinese try to preempt it with state run churches that unfortunately present mainly a social gospel. Only 20% of the Christians attend these packed state run churches. They prefer house churches. From large numbers of people in house churches, the Chinese government can freely raid the Christian places of worship if they wish. The pastor of the church just has to look at someone funny. They must also keep the bribes flowing.

Europe is getting more closed to Christianity. The socialist agenda is atheistic but at its core immoral. Christians there know that and try to homeschool. Some cannot by law or their children are removed from them by social workers. This is a problem in Germany. Thus pornographic material of the whole sex act is shown in fourth grade, Sex is described as fun, sensuality is openly encouraged if not promoted by 'relaxation' techniques in school, Darwin is taught as fact, and homosexuality is considered perfectly normal. This is by no way exhaustive of how degenerate the public schools are there. One only needs to look at European television to know what the culture is about now.

Finally the other area of the world that is closed to missions is the Islamic world. Islamic countries tend to kill new converts. IT IS IN THEIR QURAN!!! To allow freedom of religion is to cause death to Islam. This means Shia law violates human rights. They will present a more difficult majority to covert than communist and atheistic Asians who are yearning for spirituality.

These people need our prayers as much as our own country does.
