Learning about Martyrs

One of the hardest things to teach children isthat some people die for believing in Jesus. Ifyou use the Internet, you can get a Kindle ver-sion ofFoxes Book of Martyrs for free. (You canalso find many stories of martyrs through a sim-ple Google search.)

Select a story or two to read to your children,

and then remind them that, in some parts of theworld, some people are still suffering and evendying for Jesus. Then, of course, pray that thispersecution will cease. Pray also that, shouldChristians continue to face such awful persecu-tion, that they will be strong like Stephen.
