According to church tradition, June 29 marks the martyrdom of the Apostle Paul. In recent years, Voice of the Martyrs has been encouraging Christians to take time on this day to honor the legacy of those who have sacrificed their lives for the advance of the gospel.
This year they are telling the story of John Chau, killed by the Sentinelese people, who had little or no previous contact with outsiders and had responded to previous attempts with violence. Watch and share a short video, below, about why he went, and get other free resources from Voice of the Martyrs (registration required).
