“Silence suddenly fell in the cell – then frantic shouts of “Allahu Akbar!” erupted. I immediately held my breath, shocked. I wide-eyed. The men jumped up from the floor and embraced each other with gestures of jubilation. They raised their arms in triumph and danced around the crowded cell, patting each other on the back and smiling. I moved very slowly towards the nearest wall, my hands suddenly damp. Drops of sweat appeared above my upper lip and on my forehead, and I tried not to tremble. For several minutes, my cellmates celebrated the success of the terrorist attack in France. I had seen that kind of Muslim celebration on television, but experiencing it firsthand was shocking. I realized, in those terrifying moments, that I had been imprisoned with Islamic extremists. And I would learn that my cellmates were, in fact, ISIS members.”   Petr Jašek is the son of a pastor who was persecuted in communist Czechoslovakia. In 2002, he joined the humanitarian organization The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) to use his professional experience in healthcare to serve persecuted Christians in many nations, especially those in Africa where Christian persecution is most violent, such as Nigeria or Sudan.

China is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Much of its long history is a bloody trail of those who have heeded God’s call, proclaimed the message of Jesus Christ, and given their lives. During the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the courage shown by the Christians killed by the rebels’ swords was such that the Boxers tore out the martyrs’ hearts in search of the secret of their boldness. Finding nothing but flesh, they concluded that it must be “foreign devil medicine.” They did not recognize the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, the same Holy Spirit strengthens Chinese Christians who are arrested, beaten, and imprisoned for attending unregistered churches, owning a Bible, and telling others about Christ.The testimonies in these pages challenge you to stand firm in Christ and support persecuted Chinese Christians.

Hamburg '44 is not a true war story, nor is it an essay against one side or the other that played a significant role in the last great world conflict. Against the tragic backdrop of Hitler's Germany in Hamburg in 1944, the compelling episodes narrated by Erino Dapozzo primarily bring us back to contemplate the themes of hatred and violence as a consequence of wickedness and spiritual disorder. In a very particular way, Erino Dapozzo's reflections lead us to evaluate and deepen our personal relationship with God. Very often, in times of danger and suffering, people wonder if God exists and where He is; Erino Dapozzo, precisely in those circumstances, we see him firmly believing that 'all things work together for good' for him, and therefore wholeheartedly thanking the Lord. And that faith proves to be a demonstration of things unseen, the faith of the Bible.
