90,000 Christians Killed Per Year

Christian martyrdom may be the world’s most underreported story. But if a study conducted by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity is true, we are in the midst of a terrible international pogrom against Christians, with 90,000 reportedly killed a year because of their faith.
The Center for the Study of Global Christianity has done extensive research on Christian martyrdom, both historical and contemporary. We estimate that between 2005 and 2015 there were 900,000 Christian martyrs worldwide—an average of 90,000 per year. That’s a stunning number that doesn’t include the Christians imprisoned or otherwise persecuted.
And it will continue to happen, and no one will pay the slightest bit of attention, as long as Christians teach the awful, horrible, false “Jesus was a beatnik, flower-child hippie who loved everyone and expects us to become door mats for the world” version of Christianity.
Arm up, boys and girls. Start shooting. And then you will be alive to witness to Jesus and perhaps win converts. Men aren’t saved by watching you die. Men are saved by the preaching of the word, and you can’t preach that word in the grave.

Amen, brother.
People tend to listen to survivors, but that means that for your testimony to carry any weight — or indeed, to be heard at all — you first have to survive.
As you said, you can’t share the Word from the grave. Even if you could, the prospect of dying a martyr’s death is not exactly heartening to potential converts.
