What would you do if you were awakened in the middle of the night by people in police uniforms breaking in to your home, drug out of your house and placed under arrest for no specified reason for months on end, then find out that you have been charged and found guilty of being a Christian (which is not illeagal in the nation you live in)? Then to add insult to injury, the Human Rights officials decline your case because they "can't waiste time defending Christians when there are more important cases to help with"?
Don't be so sure this can't happen to you even if you aren't Christian.

This is a reality for thousands of Christians all over the world.

Pray and pray hard. I would pray that God would provide me with as many opportunities in the amount of time I had left to share my testimony and witness. Like Paul, we should always trust in God and even when the outcome seems bleak, use the situation for God's glory. Paul was in prison when he wrote most of his letters. He caused riots during his trials when he proclaimed the name of Jesus. God help us to evangelize in every situation.

Never Give Up!!! I would perservere, contact Amnesty International and file a complaint, if Human Rights are ignoring
your complaint, I would contact the Ombudsman and report this
as the "Right " to Practise your choice of reliegion is a Human
Right and falls under The Human Rights Act.
Remember the apostles in the Bible and the trials and tribulations
they went through, have faith,Pray to Jehova God and he will
protect you.

Christ is angry to christians. As Allah to Muslims and other numerous gods to Hindus....all are facing the same problems and living with a lot of fear. Overcome the very feeling that you are the only person suffering with such thoughts and experiences. You are the only defender to yourself mentally, physically, emotionally etc....be a self doctor to your mind and over come the sectarian thought as you suffer because you are a christian, relate yourself with all the human beings all around the world...actually we are all one and sufferings are same.

I would pray and be thankful that I had led a life that embodied Christianity to the point that others would know me quickly as a Christian so that I could be arrested. Because of the love he has given me in my life, I would be willing to endure anything for him.
I would accept my incarceration as a opportunity to be closer to him, to have more time to listen to him, and to love him.
God bless you :)

I would try to remember that God is supreme in all things, and that the people treating me so badly were just fallible humans like the rest of us. I would *try* to do that, but having never been in that situation, I can only guess what I would do.

I wouldn't worry if I were you. If most Christians I knew were charged in court for being a Christian there wouldn't be enough evidence to convict them.

John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Romans 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Jesus promised that He will never leave us. And I believe Him.

i don't know. But if this is what you are going thru, i truly sympathise with you. I know many Christians are being persecuted for their faith everyday, all over the earth. They (You) are brave soldier(s) of the cross. Please hang in there.
