  3. Yes Marianne, even as I. This type of commitment is not seen in America. The church in America does not even cast a thought of this nature. We read of such through the likes of Voice of the Martyrs, Christians in Crisis, etc… where our brothers and sisters endure, even unto the very end.

    God bless Marianne and thank you for spending time reading what the Lord has put on my heart and I have put to words.

    God’s rich blessing to His church, even in the midst of suffering.
