Thirteen Three is calling on Australian youth to be BOUND WITH THEM.
Not to keep persecuted Christians at a distance like strangers on the other side of the world, but to realise that they are our family in Christ. As brothers and sisters in Christ we are deeply committed to one another.
In Hebrews 13:3, God tells us to be bound with the persecuted as if we were there with them.
That means being...
bound to their chains... they are accused, kidnapped, imprisoned
bound to their loneliness... they are rejected, disowned, fired
bound to their pain... they are beaten, tortured, raped, maimed - killed
bound to their ministry... they continue to witness, gather, pray, study, worship!
Will you be BOUND WITH THEM?
What can you do?
So, you've heard the reality of persecution against Christians. You've been deeply moved and impacted by their stories. But what now? What can you do to support them?
