Facing Persecution

The first Sunday in November is the day we have set aside to remember in prayer the persecuted Christians around the World.  In the United States, we face mild to moderate persecution.  From ridicule, hindrance of freedom, and even sometimes being jailed.  Around the World Christians face imprisonment, torture and death for their faith in Christ.  Churches are bombed and burned repeatedly in some areas.  Yet, these faithful Christians continue on.  Are you persecuted in any form?  If not, why?  How will you stand for Christ in times of persecution?
