Martyrdom

Liz gave me a 'Jim Elliot' style leather bound dairy for the trip saying...'this looks like something Jim Elliot would have written in'...it does.
Which got us on the subject of martyrdom.
Tom Shaw recently said he didnt think it would be too long before new frontiers has a martyr in one of their churches worldwide.
Joe and I had an argument about who was more likely to get martyred, me or him. sounds rather morbid unless you understand the context and our sense of humor.
something to think about.....


Rough Guide says this...
'Islam is the most widespread of Cambodias minority faiths...christianity, introduced by various missionary groups, has failed to make much impact'

With this in view building a New Testament church in the heart of a country, with less than 1% of the population christian, becomes suddenly a more exciting thing to do.
