Christians, why do you send missionaries to countries where Christianity is illegal? You insist in converting its people even though you know what will be done to them if they are caught. Most of them are killed or tortured because you do not respect the law. Don't you find what you are doing wrong?
I know in the Bible it says “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” -Psalm 116:15 But to me I think you go too far.

The Bible teaches its followers to hurt and kill people. Preaching at them is just one of many ways to do it.
Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . . . "
Isaiah 13:16 "Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished."
Deuteronomy 13:15 "Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword."
Leviticus 20:9 "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death . . . "
Exodus 32:27 "And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour."

Because a missionary may die but maybe ten people will hear and be saved. Why do firemen risk their lives to go in a burning building to save lives? Missionaries are like that only they are doing it to save the souls of people.

I've never tried to convert people in countries where Christianity is illegal, and I have never sent a missionary to such a country. But thanks for asking.

With Missionary's, the preaching is second, the humanitarian work is the most important. Even I know that, and I am not Christian.

Do you also know in the Bible it says, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28).
I can be far worse for those who continue in this physical life living in error.
Revelation 6:17 -- "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"
Revelation 9:6 -- "In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them."
And besides, it is not forced upon them, like their national religion is.

They should at least have the choice or whether or not to believe. Missionaries choose to go to these places, and the citizens of those countries sometimes choose to believe. I don't think you should be against choice lol.

I'm sorry but I'm not aware that I have personally sent any missionaries to other countries.

They have a God-given right to know===The great commission is to spread the gospel until the end.

Of course you do. You don't understand that this life is very short compared to all of eternity. And entering eternity without knowing Jesus as one's savior will be much worse than any punishment on this earth for standing for Him.

This life is transitory. Eternal Life is what we offer them. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
