Acts 6 – 8:3
In this week’s reading, we are introduced to Stephen – initially as a leader responsible for overseeing the care of a minority group’s widows and then, as the first Christian martyr. It can be difficult for us to fully understand Stephen’s suffering in a western context; discussing our faith does not tend to threaten our lives. However, for many Christians around the world, martyrdom is a very current reality. Take some time this week to watch this 12-minute video from North Way Mission Partner Derek Seipp who, along with his wife Holly, serves the North Korean Church. Spend some time in prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world as well as for people like Derek and Holly who are working to plant churches in areas of strong persecution.
