Persecuted Church Project
The overarching study, in our Bible class, this year, is the beginning and development of the early church, primarily based on the books of Acts. In our class discussions, we learned that one of the factors, the early church experienced was persecution, for their faith. The 21st century church is not exempt. Around the world, Christians are still being persecuted for their belief in Christ.
To better understand, the persecution of the church, each student, will be writing a research paper and giving an oral presentation in class. I will be sending home a letter that will provide more details about this important project.
This will be a meaningful unit of study to increase our knowledge and awareness of those who suffer, in the name of Christ. As the Apostle Paul said, in 1 Corinthians 12:26, 'We are one body. . . if one part suffers, every part suffers with it.'
