The Persecuted Church video project

Uploading so I could send to Ms. Pompilio! (Unfortunately, the video's pretty sticky)

Anyway, this is my final AP World History project. I chose to do a current events project on the Persecuted Church. Basically, the Persecuted Church consists of all the thousands of thousands of Christians/believers all around the world who are currently or have been persecuted because of their faith. They're usually deprived, kidnapped, tortured, put in jail and even killed. This could be because some people simply believe in Christ, or simply possess a Bible. This persecution happens abundantly in Restricted and Hostile nations.
Restricted nations are the countries where the government specifically creates laws to stop or deprive Christians. (leads to violence, etc) Hostile nations' populations consist of 90% Muslims. Typically in these countries, Muslim (and other religion) radicals and guerrilla groups kidnap and torture Christians--seeking them out.

Many of these Christian martyrs are living out their lives for Jesus Christ fully even though they are exposed to this continuous threat. Forced to deny Christ, they still proclaim their faith even if a gun is pointed to their head. Thousands of people die for Christ, and the least we could do here in America where this persecution does not occur, is recognize them and honor them for this courage. May continue God bless them and the Restricted/Hostile nations.

I also took interviews with three Christian students at my school who I felt would have good input on the subject. (Thank you Rachel Alessio, Hannah Meegan and Samuel Narveson!)
