They Joyfully Refused

Two Christians Critically Wounded at Wedding in Pakistan
“One of the green-turban-wearing Muslims peremptorily told us to recite the Islamic holy Kalima [profession of faith] or face direct bullets and the lethal consequences,” said Khushi Masih.

My God Did Not Leave Me To Die

Let me say that because my strength and shield are of God that nearly all the time, I feel nigh invincible.
I am not so cocky that things won’t get to me and hurt [...]
