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
