The Martyr's Oath: Living for the Jesus They're Willing to Die For

Be inspired by amazing eyewitness stories of hope & courage from the persecuted church.

We are witnessing an astonishing escalation in Christian persecution like we have rarely seen since the first century.

Some estimate that every five minutes, a Christian is martyred for his or her faith. Countries like Egypt have experienced more Christian persecution in the last five years than in the previous six hundred years combined.

Johnnie Moore, like many American Christians, didn't fully appreciate the extent of what was going on—until he witnessed a graduation of theology students in India. Unlike graduation ceremonies in America—where feel-good speeches made by visiting celebrities are expected—this one featured a remarkable oath. It wasn't an oath to excel. It was an oath to be willing to die, if necessary, for the cause of Christ.

Johnnie knew he was witnessing a raw, first-century Christianity his comfortable American version had shielded him from. Now he's on a mission to give this same experience to others. He and his team have crisscrossed the globe, recorders in hand, gathering eyewitness accounts from dozens of Christians who have survived persecution—and the stories of some who didn't.

Join Johnnie Moore on this compelling journey to the heart of the Christian faith.
