Day 4 China:
1) Read - 1 Thessalonians 2:9-14
9 Brothers and sisters, I know that you remember how hard we worked. We worked night and day to support ourselves, so that we would not be a burden to anyone while we did the work of telling you God’s Good News.
10 When we were there with you believers, we were pure, honest, and without fault in the way we lived. You know, just as God does, that this is true. 11 You know that we treated each one of you the way a father treats his own children. 12 We encouraged you, we comforted you, and we told you to live good lives for God. He calls you to be part of his glorious kingdom.
13 Also, we always thank God because of the way you accepted his message. You heard it and accepted it as God’s message, not our own. And it really is God’s message. And it works in you who believe. 14 Brothers and sisters, you are just like God’s churches in Judea.[a] I mean that you were treated badly by your own people, just as those believers in Christ Jesus were treated badly by other Jews—
2) Think About - What form does persecution take? Is is always physical? can it be social or emotional?
3) Pray - Pray for Chinese Christian university students: that they continue to be blessed as they boldly share the Gospel on China's campuses, and beyond.
4) Act - Share this Bible study on your blog.

Persecution takes so any forms - physical is probably the most noticed because it's so obvious. Many people are not physically hurt but emotionally - like those that are disowned by their families because of believing in God.
