One aspect that hasn\u2019t changed is openness to the gospel. Brian will explain where Christian persecution usually begins and how it can feature a mix of family, community, and\/or the government coming against the church and against new followers of Jesus. Emphasizing that God is the one who changes hearts and minds, Brian shares how, when we read the New Testament, we see that God is sovereign even over the persecution He allows His children to endure. \u201c[Christian persecution] causes believers to grow in their faith.\u201d Brian says, \u201cI think it\u2019s a real witness that this faith is so much bigger than what is happening to me in this world.\u201d OM\u2019s mission is to grow the church and mobilize followers of Christ to go and make disciples, teaching them to obey everything the Lord has commanded. Brian will share specific stories of how Christians in Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka are being mobilized to spread the gospel where they are and take Jesus into new communities where there aren\u2019t any churches. One story you will hear is that of a young girl, only 6 or 7 years old, who so passionately shared Jesus with her classmates that her teacher said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you share this message with the entire school?\u201d You\u2019ll also hear about a witch doctor who saw his son healed after praying for healing in the name of Christ. Discover how you can get involved in missions\u2014whatever stage of life you\u2019re in\u2014and what Brian considers the most vital qualities for those who desire to serve and reach out among unreached people groups or in foreign nations.
