In America, being a Christian can mean being ridiculed and harassed. In many other countries, being a Christian can mean prison, starvation, torture, and death. November 16, 1997, was the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Even though this day has come and gone, THE SILENCE MUST STAY SHATTERED.

Whatever you did not do for one
of the least of these, you did not do for Me.
-- Matthew 25:45
