A startling story about the way in which some contemporary African Christians have borne witness to Christ. A sobering story about the way in which stories about Africans are often not heard particularly outside of the African continent.<BR/>How much incipient prejudice is their in our non-African hearts about the life, faith, culture, joy and suffering of Africans?philjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351025982828679289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-37382054875352827042007-04-13T00:32:00.000+02:002007-04-13T00:32:00.000+02:00thank you for telling their story- if we cannot we...thank you for telling their story- if we cannot weep for them and for their persecutors we are less than Christ has called us to be.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19384577.post-1402642287373728092007-04-13T00:21:00.000+02:002007-04-13T00:21:00.000+02:00Steve - Thanks for this reminder that it's real li...Steve - Thanks for this reminder that it's real lives we're thinking about today.
