While I was reading Acts 15 this morning, about Paul’s time in Jerusalem before his second missionary journey, I saw the following: “ They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, …men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The church valued those who had risked their lives for the gospel and recommended them for following missionary journeys. To me, it corresponds to what BTJ missionaries are in this time.
