Without fear we sang in prisons 30 feet beneath the earth. We were terribly hungry, beaten, and tortured.
The Communists were good at torturing us.
We would say to each other, "The communist beat us very well - let us do our work well, Let us sing well".

"It takes a real commitment to Jesus Christ in times of persecution. Thus there is usually a tremendous depth of relationship with the Lord. And with that relationship, there comes tremendous faith and a great love for fellow believers"

Sometimes I feel like a pale reflection
Living in the blessings they passed down
Some of them have known me
Some never knew my name
But the secret has been found
I wan't to give this my children
(Twila Paris "Seventy Years Ago")
Work in His Name. Bliss.
