MIDLAND, TEXAS - Sitting on the floor of a jungle in the Philippines, Gracia Burnham couldn't remember the last time she slept. She counted down from 500 to pass the time, and she sometimes wondered if God had forgotten about her and her husband, Martin. The couple recited passages from the Bible to each other to remind themselves of what they were struggling to believe: "I have loved you with an everlasting love ...." (Jeremiah 31:3)
Burnham will be speaking at a regional conference for Voice of the Martyrs, an interdenominational non-profit organization that supports Christians around the world who are persecuted for their beliefs. The event, Jan. 29 at Stonegate Fellowship, will bring in speakers from a variety of backgrounds, including two who have been imprisoned in foreign countries for their Christian faith.
