I have a big decision to make that will affect the lives and welfare of many many people.
I may have to leave a mission field that I've had for the last couple of weeks due to tremendous persecution. Although it does leave me closer to Jesus, I sometimes wonder if it's truly worth it.
Unless you've spent a week or two or a month or two dealing with these people, you just can't understand the horror it can produce.
With many of the insults that we get, our daughter now cry's often.
Pleases say a quick prayer, not for me exactly, as much as those like me in the field.
Amen

Surely I will pray for you! That is what us brothers and sisters of Christ need to do for each other more often! Although, I don't know if you should quit the missions field because you are being persecuted. Check out James 1. I suspect that God is testing you so your faith will grow. Bless you so much, thank you for committing time to show people the truth of Jesus. Bless you again! Amen.

NEVER LEAVE. The more persecution you face, the more treasures you'll have in Heaven. I'll pray for you, but only if you don't forsake your post. Please, I'm begging you, just spread His
Word with even more passion and vigilance, God will provide. And your child is safe in God's hand. I promise from this day forth I will pray for you every night, and I will ask my church to as well.
Please stay. You inspire me with every breath you take on the mission field. Can I get your first name and location(country or state) for prayer? If not, that's fine too.

you have my prayers
2 Corinthians 4:8-10
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Romans 15:5
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.
trust in the Lord and in all things he will work for the good of you. blesses upon you my friend.

Some people have thick skin and can deal with insults, others like your daughter can't. Do you feel you're actually doing in good in that particular area? If not, get out and help your daughter get over it. I know its difficult, and I'm very sorry you're in such a situation. My prayers are with you and your family.

If God called you to a mission field, He will equip you to stand there. Do you think that Paul fled from persecution? Please pray for your wisdom and disernment that you are where you are because of right calling.
Cover your entire family with a hedge of protection. and the blood of Jesus.
Take care, vicki

Yes. There is no greater work than missionary work. If you are being persecuted you are either doing what is right. Or you are teaching false things.
Serving god is always worth it.
Do you have the Priesthood? If not, you don't have any right to be a missionary. Obtain His priesthood worthily then you can be a real missionary.
