Description
Imagine you were ten months old when your missionary father is killed by the very tribe members he had come to bring the Gospel. Then imagine that his wife, your mother, took you as a toddler to that very same tribe to continue your father's work. That's either insanity, a love that surpasses all understanding, or a faith that can move mountains. But that is in fact the early life of Valerie Elliot Shepard, the daughter of one of the most influential Christian women of the 20th Century, Elisabeth Elliot. Valerie has published a book of her parents' love letters called, 'Devotedly, The Personal Letters and Love Story of Jim and Elisabeth Elliot'. In this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Valerie shares how her parents' faith in Jesus Christ created in them a deep desire to serve Him, and also transformed their friendship into a deep love and eventual marriage, that is so different from today's relationships. She is their only child, but they were able to fuel a faith foundation in some of the most prominent pastors of today, including Dr. Tim Keller, founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.

Bishop Joseph D'Souza: the Global Concern of Religious Persecution: India is one of the most religiously diverse countries in the world. Although it is majority Hindu, it has some 200 million Muslims, as well as Sikhs, Jews, and a native Christian population dating back 2000 years. In fact, Christianity in India has deeper roots than in America. Which is why it is an extremely disturbing fact to Bishop Joseph D'Souza of Good Shepherd church that his country has just entered the top ten list of nations where Christians are most persecuted. He blames a small band of extremist Hindus, who've painted Christians as an enemy of the state and have marketed the lie that Christians are involved in forced conversions. As President Trump this week sounded the alarm at the United Nations for countries to rally together in a shared value of religious freedom, Bishop D'Souza has the detailed forensics of why religious persecution has grown, and continues to be a threat to global peace. by Lighthouse Faith
