Persecution of the church looks different around the world. One constant though should be our response to persecution.

• Be a blessing through persecution: When you are a blessing to someone you want what is best for them. Seek to bless those who persecute you.
• Be a support through persecution: When others go through persecution support them. Don’t be afraid to share your faith during persecution.  
• Love during Persecution: We love others because Jesus first loved us. Show His love during persecution to bring others to Him.
