Persecution of Followers – Matthew 4:12 – 4:17

Sharing the Gospel

It has been my privilege to be able to share the gospel in the 52 different countries, that I have been able to travel in. In most countries this has included schools, hospitals, jails, universities, churches, and even open-air evangelism. In two or three countries we have received verbal persecution when we have witnessed and given out tracts on the streets. The country where I have received the most persecution  is Israel. When we sang, gave testimony and shared the gospel some of the orthodox jews and their cronies tried their best to stop us by yelling at us, jerking literature out of our hands, spiting on us and telling us to go home. I even remember once when they jerked tracts out of my hands, set fire to them and as they burned said, “That is what I think of your Jesus.” (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
