For many years, decades in fact, I have heard about the persecuted church. My husband has been a long-term supporter of the Voice of the Martyrs, a nonprofit that shines the light on the persecution of Christians and provides Bible and other support to those who are persecuted.
Until recently, this suffering seemed so distant. Much as when I was a small girl and saw the photos of starving children on television, it seemed so far away. Almost on another planet.
But, the internet has changed everything.
