“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.” (Romans 12:1)4

When Y accepted Jesus Christ several years ago, his family, peers, and elders in his village mocked him, beat him, denied him food, and rejected him. Praise God that Y persisted in sharing his faith despite the traumatic persecution he endured. Two elders from Y’s village who previously persecuted him have been participating in weekly simple church meetings and fervently seeking Truth. Recently, Y baptized these two men who stated that they were astounded by the unconditional brotherly love that Y showed them. Praise God for Y and these new believers. Pray that believers in “Valor” imitate Y and bless those who persecute them.

Lord of the Harvest, thrust out more Ys willing to endure persecution for finding lost sheep.
