Incredible!  more died in the 20th century than in all previous!? And it’s getting worse in the 21st century. And some think that it’s not happening unless it’s in front of them.  Pray like never before!

It is said that more martyrs died for Jesus Christ in the 20th century than in all the previous 19 centuries combined. The number of Christians being persecuted for their faith continues to grow each year. Many of those serving Jesus throughout the world come from anti-Christian families who violently oppose them when they stand for the Living God. They face verbal abuse and threats, beatings, imprisonment and—in many cases—death. But they realize Christ is worth it.
