Where is the persecuted church?

I heard a story this week that broke my heart.

A Christian I know is faced with a tough choice.  She’s in a position to help families and youth heal from substance abuse, family violence and other issues.  But people in authority are now saying she’ll need to offer referrals to traditional tribal medicine men.  My friend told her supervisor, I’m going to have to step down because I just can’t do that. She’s not willing to harm her Christian witness to her tribe.

This didn’t happen in Africa or the Amazon jungle.  This happened last week in Arizona.
