Church tradition say that the Apostle Paul was killed on June 29. This year Christians are called to take time today – and throughout the coming weekend – to remember and honor those who have given their lives to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I have shared some of their stories in posts before. I hope you will take time to read them.
We have so many to remember. Check out the stores of some of these heroes of the faith:
- John the Baptist
- Stephen
- Polycarp
- William Tyndale
- John Huss
- John and Betty Stam
- Eric Liddell
- Jim Elliott and Nate Saint
- Richard Wurmbrand
“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3
Thanks for the reminder. I had indeed forgotten

Eric Liddell was mentioned in 7 Men and the Secret of Their Greatness by Eric Metaxas. Have you, by chance, read it? Truly an inspiring book.
