MISSIONARIES KILLED
Karl came into our 6 a.m. prayer group this morning and the first thing he wanted to know was whether I had seen the news about the shooting in Yemen. My first response was, I didn't know there were any missionaries in Yemen (a tight, pretty closed Muslim country). But in fact they are there. Southern Baptists -- "preaching" by actions through a hospital ministry. Even the most extreme Muslim should be able to recognize the evil inherent in returning this kind of practical love with hatred. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of faith.

Australian Rowan Forster has some good thoughts on martyrdom.
