Many Christians around the world are persecuted for sharing the gospel and meeting to have church. You can be fined sent to jail and even killed. As Christians we need to speak up for our brothers and sisters in Christ. Sadly, many of these occurrences go unnoticed by Christians around the world. A 87-year-old, Yegor Prokopenko, in Kazakhstan was fined for holding a worship meeting in his house. He was fined 1,000 dollars. Which is about to months salary in Kazakhstan. Also in Iran, an American pastor, Saeed Abedini, is being jailed for sharing the gospel. He has been denied medical treatment. We should pray for Christians who are being persecuted around the world.
