“But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” (Hebrews 10:32-34 ESV)
The same path of costly faith, once walked by the early church, is still being walked today across much of Asia.
In parts of Southeast Asia, pastors are faithfully proclaiming Christ in the face of poverty, opposition, and pressure to give up. Yet, they keep preaching. They keep enduring. And they are not alone.
On a recent trip to Thailand, our executive director Jeff Brewer sat down with Matthew Spandler-Davison of Church in Hard Places to talk about how our partnership is equipping pastors in these difficult places who will not bow to fear, because they hold fast to a better and abiding possession.
We invite you to join us: pray, give, tell others. Together, we can equip pastors who endure affliction for the name of Christ in some of the hardest places on earth.
