Be prepared because Christian persecution is coming to America. In countries where Christians are persecuted and suppressed Christianity is increasing rapidly. This has happened for example in China and in the Arabic world. How do persecuted Christians see their life and faith? What is the secret of their success and why the number of Christians tend to rise in the middle of persecution?
Western Christians have had a freedom of faith for a long time. But, are we now approaching the crossroads where our societies are increasingly turning against Christian values? Instead of gloomy and heavy handling, the documentary brings to the persecution a different perspective that can make Western Christians stronger than ever.
The documentary gives a voice to Chinese Christians through Dr. Bob Fu, the leader of the ChinaAid organization that is specialized in helping them. Fu has encountered persecution as a young Christian in China as he worked full-time as an English teacher in the Chinese Communist Party´s school and in the evenings spread the message of Jesus by a bike in Beijing area.
The persecuted Christians of the Muslim world are represented by Rev. Yassir Eric. Raised in the midst of a radical Islamic lineage, and abandoned and even “buried” by his family after his conversion, Yassir opens up the subject as a former persecutor and now, a persecuted ex-Muslim.
The history of Christian persecution is presented by Dr. Susanna Kokkonen. She is particularly known for being an expert on Jewish persecution, but her current role as a head of the Hope for Persecuted Peoples and her extensive perspective on the history of persecution brings an important time perspective and depth to the documentary.
