On this day in 2016, Pastor Han was martyred by North Korean assassins. Living in a town on the border of China and North Korea, the pastor and Mrs. Han unexpectedly had opportunities to minister to North Koreans who were crossing the border. The Hans would help meet tangible needs, such as food and shelter, while also teaching refugees about God. This led to Pastor Han's name being added to a North Korean "hit list."

If God says I will die... then that will be my fate; if God says I will live, then I will live. [Sometimes] I get scared... but when that happens, I pray. I depend on God. I know that persecution is part of the Christian life. We who are Christians will suffer. If this doesn't happen to us, the Bible is not fulfilled. [I do not] feel fearful or angry when [I see my persecutors;] all I can do is pray that God touches them. Forgiving them is necessary because God has forgiven me. If I know God, if I know Jesus Christ, I must forgive them. [My message to all suffering Christians is to] depend on God in every situation.
Emmanuel, a Nigerian Christian

Share Christmas with our Persecuted Brothers & Sisters in Christ
Whether you’re doing Operation Christmas Child through your local Church or you’re building a shoebox online on their website, you can help children in need this Christmas.
Or, if you want to help reach Christians suffering from radical persecution in hostile Countries where sharing the Gospel is dangerous, there’s another Christmas operation called “Share Christmas” that gives backpacks full of essentials such as clothes, a Bible (Maybe even their first one!) in their language, hygiene products, and Christian literature (also in their language) through Voice of the Martyrs.
It is the season of giving and what better way to give than by giving the greatest gift of all - Jesus! to the children of the world.

The Voice of the Martyrs: 2022 Photo Issue — Following Christ in Pakistan
by The Voice of the Martyrs
Favorite Lines:
We must love Pakistani Christians — our dear brothers and sisters for eternity — as much as we love ourselves.
Bold Christians travel long distances to proclaim the gospel and distribute God’s Word to radicalized Muslims…
…many refuse to abandon their faith, and some faithfully and courageously proclaim the gospel to their persecutors under difficult and dangerous circumstances.

#he’s literally so unattached to his own life#at least at points in the show#especially during his blade days#but it was always there#ughhh#just….. thinking#ahhh#vld#voltron#voltron legendary defender#keith kogane#keith voltron#keith headcanon#keith’s martyr complex is something that can be so personal#martyr complex#am I trying to distract myself from a traumatic memory currently#yes#I just need to not hear the voice and everything is hunky dory#I just need to not think about#so I’ll think about Keith instead

DOLORES DEI — “I don’t *understand* you, Harry. You aren’t dying, you’re just sad. Why is everything an apocalypse to you? People don’t die of sadness! I’m… I’m not trying to kill you, Harry…” Her holy gaze falls to her feet. “I never wanted to hurt you at all.”
DRAMA — She speaks the truth, sire. All she ever did was love you.
RHETORIC — No. Don’t let her control the narrative. She’s *wrong.* People die of sadness every day. Sadness the likes of which she has never and will never know. Tell her about the body on the boardwalk, his mouth full of chewing gum to mask the smell of disappointment. Tell her about René’s angry little heart full of barbs and spines that repelled all but one man. Tell her about Cuno’s father, wasting away and leaving nothing but a specter that will dog his son’s footsteps forever. Tell her about Ruby. Tell her about the Bad Day.
“I never wanted to hurt you, either. I just wanted you to understand *my* hurt.”
“Just because you can’t imagine something doesn’t mean that it isn’t real.”
DOLORES DEI — “But that’s not true, is it?” Her beautiful eyes are full of pain. “You *did* want to hurt me. You wanted me to be sad, too. And then you wanted me to leave you and prove that you were right about everything. About me, about life…”
She sighs, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Well, you got what you wanted. I’m gone and I’m never coming back. Are you happy? Does it feel *good* to be right?”
INLAND EMPIRE — Nothing will ever feel good or right again. You have made certain of that.
RHETORIC — It feels better than the constant dread of being abandoned. It feels like vindication.
“I never wanted to hurt you, either. I just wanted you to understand *my* hurt.”
“Just because you can’t imagine something doesn’t mean that it isn’t real.”
DOLORES DEI — “This again!” She pinches the bridge of her nose, and the gesture makes her look strangely more human. “What do you want me to say? ‘I’m sorry for not being born poor?’ ‘I’m sorry for not being an alcoholic?’ ‘I’m sorry I don’t want to die?’ I’m not going to ruin my life just to understand where you’re coming from, Harry!”
And then, her expression softens. Like light passing through stained glass. “You’re not well, Harry. You don’t need to die. You just need help.”
EMPATHY — She genuinely wants you to be better. And she believes that you can be.
RHETORIC — But she fails to understand the difference between you two. Poverty, addiction, the pain wracking your bodymind… She can leave these realities behind. Go back home to her parents, start a new life on another isola and be a new person. And so she did, and so she is. But you? It’s too late for you. It was too late from the moment you were born, in the death throes of the revolution. It was her people that killed it.
VOLITION — Is any of that her fault? Is it wrong for her to save herself from you, just because you can’t? You can be sad and angry at this wedge the world drove between you, but why did you have to misplace that anger? You took it out on her just because you could. You made it impossible for her to stand by you without getting stabbed in the back. You even became a cop so you could take it out on other people, too. Stop this, Harry. No more cruelty.
“There is no helping me. The world isn’t built to help people like me. I realized that in Martinaise. None of us can just *leave.*”
“Fuck you. You don’t know what I need.”
“I want to get better. Would you love me again if I got better?”
DOLORES DEI — She smiles, and it’s tinged with pity. “Oh, Harry… You are what you are. I’ve already forgiven you for that. And you may not forgive me, but I am what I am.” She closes her eyes, head bowing just slightly, almost like a prayer. “But we cannot *be* together anymore. Don’t you see that? There is nothing good left that can come of it. It would just be… more of this.”
Her Innocence Dolores Dei opens her eyes and looks around her— at this strange set you have constructed to act out a million different conversations that all end the same way. “I can’t live in your nightmares, Harry. And neither can you.”
VOLITION — You don’t have to anymore. Let her go, Harry.
“See you tomorrow.”
“Goodbye, Dora.”
DOLORES DEI — She smiles that pitying smile again. It’s not going to be that simple. “See you around, Harry.”
INLAND EMPIRE — You can try to rid yourself of this place, this feeling… But it will come back to you eventually. What you build at low tide will be swallowed up again someday.
VOLITION — And then you’ll build it again. As long as you live. You can do it.
#disco elysium#harry du bois#dora ingerlund#dolores dei#suicide tw#dora is. so juicy to me.#tfw you come from wealth and so you are the only person in the narrative capable of leaving the realities of life behind#but the leaving is exactly what deprives you of a voice in this story#except from the pov of your shitty unreliable narrator ex#who can only remember you as a vague concept to project both his own self loathing and his directionless anger onto#but there’s also kernels of truth to certain things he remembers about you#which is that class drove a wedge between you that prevented you from being able to even imagine what was going on w him internally and why#but he only drove that wedge farther and made it impossible for you to bridge that gap#are you the villain in this story? are you a martyr?#you’re neither. you’re just a human with no power over the circumstances of her birth#but more power over what course your life takes than other characters in this story#and so you get to live in one new world at the cost of another

A respected imam in Bangladesh, Abdul began having visions of Jesus. When he met a pastor and received a New Testament, he gave his life to Christ. As a result, he was rejected by his wife, son and brothers. He was then beaten to the point of hospitalization. Abdul asks we pray for his health and that he would be able to continue sharing the gospel.

A Beloved Murderer
A transcript from the pages of Jesus Freaks Vol. II: Revolutionaries
Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand
Romania, 1940s
"In the concentration camp where I worked, I killed many Jews, even Jews with children in their arms," the man boasted to Pastor Wurmbrand. He had just come back from the front fighting for the Nazis and was proud of his accomplishments. He was glad to tell of them to anyone who would listen. Having heard the good German name Wurmbrand, the man must have had no idea that the pastor he spoke with was a Jew.
In response to being "privileged" with hearing of the man's barbarity and murdering, most Christians would have been at a loss for words. But not Pastor Wurmbrand. He promptly and affectionately invited the man to his home for dinner. The man loved music, and when Pastor Wurmbrand told him he would play the piano for him, he said he would be glad to come.
When the man arrived that evening, there were some other believers present, but his wife, Sabina, was feeling ill, so she stayed in her room. Pastor Wurmbrand played the piano for them all, and they had a wonderful evening together enjoying the music. After that they all had a long discussion into the night, further enjoying one another's company.
When it had grown quite late, Pastor Wurmbrand turned to the soldier and said, "Sir, I have to tell you something. You must promise me that you will listen for ten minutes quietly. After that ten minutes you can say whatever you would like."
The man was smiling broadly from all he had enjoyed that evening and said quite warmly, "All right, all right, you can speak to me even more than ten minutes. I promise that I will not interrupt you. You can say whatever you like."
"In the other room," the pastor began, "my wife is sleeping. She is Jewish and I am Jewish too. Her family, which is also my family, perished in the big Nazi concentration camp where you boasted that you killed Jews with children still in their arms. So you are presumably the very murderer of my family.
"Now, I propose an experiment. We will pass into the other room and I will tell my wife who you are. I can assure you my wife will not speak one word of reproach to you, nor will she look angrily at you, but will smile at you as at every honored guest. She will go and prepare coffee and cookies for you. You will be received just like everyone else. Now, if my wife, who is only human, can do this, if she can love you like this, knowing what you have done, and can forgive you, then how much more will Jesus, who is love?"
The man began to tear at his jacket. "What have I done? What have I done? I am guilty of so much blood."
The pastor said, "Well, then, let us kneel down and ask for forgiveness from God."
They knelt. First Pastor Wurmbrand said a short prayer; then the man, who did not know how to pray, said again and again, "Jesus forgive me. Jesus forgive me. I believe that You will forgive me." There were many tears, and then he and the pastor embraced.
"I have promised you an experiment. Now we will go to see my wife."
Sabina had heard nothing while sleeping in the other room far away in the house from the main room where they had been speaking. They went to her and Pastor Wurmbrand woke her. "Do you know this man?" Pastor Wurmbrand began.
"No," she replied sleepily.
So he introduced the man. "This is the murderer of your sisters, your brothers and your parents. But now he has repented and he is our brother in the Messiah, our brother in the faith. What do you have to say to him?"
She fell around his neck and they both wept together.

Also sucks how easy it has been to be like "Oh the fact that I break down over morality and if I've hurt people all the time is actually a sign that I care about others" which I think I have especially clung to because my opinion of myself is. So low.
#[guy who has a horrible martyr complex voice] no see it's good that i hate myself when i do bad things#--for definitions of 'bad things' that include: hurting people's feelings. disagreeing with my friends. being mentally ill
