Key Quotes:

“[In ISIS-controlled areas of the middle east, Christians] can either convert to Islam or they can stand for Christ and lose everything they own, or maybe even their life.”

“I wonder would I be able to stand up under this kind of persecution. I’ll be honest with you, the only answer is yes, because it wouldn’t be me, it would be Christ in me.”

“This is our family. We need to know their stories; we are not going to sugar coat what’s happening.”

“We are not going to be paralyzed by fear because God has helped us embrace risk.”

“God is glorified when Christians do things just don’t make any human sense, they just, they don’t add up.”

“‘I want to follow the God who is alive…Yes we have prophets and…we honor Mohamed, but your God is like alive, like you are walking with him, and you are serving alongside him and being led by the spirit.'”

“‘When everything was stripped away and all I had left was Jesus, I realized that Jesus is enough.'”

“What persecution does is it literally purifies the church.”

“It’s going to be really neat in heaven one day to be sitting around and to be able to meet people who have been martyred.”
