Christian Martyrs during the last 2000
years1????????? 2000?
More than 200 million Christians in over 60
nations face persecution each day, 60 of these
are children. 150,000 to 165,000 are martyred
each year. (2004 estimate) Christians today are
the most persecuted group in the world.
Persecution is on the rise because of Communism,
the expansion of Islamic and Hindu extremism, and
because of the anti-Christ spirit that is
prevalent throughout the world. Literally
hundreds of thousands of people today are being
killed, brutalized, sold as slaves, imprisoned,
tortured, threatened, discriminated against and
arrested solely because they are Christians. ??
