Getting to know those persecuted for their religious faith is life-changing. To meet people whose everyday life involves the real possibility that they might be kidnapped, tortured, and/or killed simply because they are Christians or Yazidis or Uyghur Muslims is a reality in the world we are living in today.
One of the problems is that we don’t often come to know any of these people. Their plight seems a world away. Maybe we make a donation from time to time — maybe around this time of year. But meeting people, breaking bread with people, changes things.
