Kids of Courage...From Voice of the Martyers

One day, Pastor K’Be’s children were watching TV in Vietnam where they lived. Their father’s picture appeared on the screen! They were excited!The TV announcer said their father was a “criminal.” The report said he was guilty of “crimes” against the government of Vietnam. Their excitement disappeared. The government wants to control Christian activity. They do not want Christians to have activities outside of churches that are registered with the government. Pastor K’Be preached at church meetings that took place in people’s homes. Not Ashamed The government put his picture on TV to shame him. The Bible tells us that the apostle Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16, NIV). Pastor K’Be wasn’t ashamed either. The government also wanted to warn people who saw the TV report to stay away from Pastor K’Be. But it only made people more curious. They looked for answers about what Pastor K’Be believed, and they found out about Jesus. “The government is helping to spread the gospel,” said Pastor K’Be. “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails,” (Proverbs 19:21, NIV). Encourage your children to pray for the persecuted Church...
