"Brother Matthew" is a pastor and church planter in South Asia, working among Muslims to share the gospel. After threats against his life and an attack on his brother, he was encouraged by family members to leave his country. He fled to a safe place, but God clearly called him to go back to his home country, in spite of the danger. Matthew obeyed, and since his return he's seen explosive growth in his church planting work. Matthew says persecution is something God uses to purify and unify the church, and further it's something that every Christian should be ready to experience. Let Matthew's story inspire you to walk boldly with Christ, and remember this week to pray for Christians in South Asia.
