St. Patrick: From Slave to Missionary Giant

Hello, and welcome back to Nations 4 Jesus. Today is March 17th, 2026—St. Patrick's Day. For most people, this is a day for parades, green beer, and shamrocks. But for me, this day is deeply personal.

My great-great-grandmother was from Ireland, so Irish heritage runs in my blood. But even more personally, my grandma Esther—a woman who deeply influenced my faith—went home to be with Jesus on St. Patrick's Day. So this day always brings celebration and remembrance for me.

But St. Patrick's Day has become special for another reason: I've learned the incredible story of St. Patrick himself. And friends, this is not the story of leprechauns and four-leaf clovers. This is the story of slavery, suffering, forgiveness, and one of the most successful missionary endeavors in Christian history.

[Patrick's story - from captivity to calling]

Let me take you back to Britain in the late 4th century. A teenage boy named Succat—later known as Patrick—was living comfortably as the son of a wealthy Roman-British official. Then Irish raiders attacked his family's estate. Patrick wrote: "I was grabbed from behind, tied up, and roughly pushed towards a waiting ship. I was being taken as a slave! I was only sixteen years old."

In Ireland, Patrick was sold to a chieftain and forced to herd pigs in cold, rainy weather. He was hungry, wet, and always lonely. But something happened during those six years of slavery. Patrick, who had grown up in a Christian home but wasn't personally devoted to God, turned to prayer. He prayed up to 100 times a day! His suffering drove him to God, and he also learned the Irish language and customs.

After six years, Patrick had a dream: "Behold, your ship is ready." He walked 200 miles to Wexford, found a ship needing someone to care for Irish wolfhounds, and escaped. Eventually he made it home to Britain. His parents were overjoyed and begged him never to leave again.

[The impossible call - returning to his captors]

Patrick continued his studies and became a priest. Then he had another dream—he saw the people of Ireland pleading: "We beg you, holy youth, to come and walk among us once more." Patrick knew he must return to Ireland—to the very people who had enslaved him!

Think about that. This wasn't just cross-cultural missions. This was returning to the nation that had kidnapped him and stolen six years of his life. This was radical forgiveness and radical obedience.

Around 432 AD, Patrick returned to Ireland as a missionary. He asked King Leary's permission to preach, then traveled throughout Ireland bringing many to Christ. He spent 40 days praying on a mountain (now called Croagh Patrick), trained Irish priests, and established churches and monasteries.

The famous shamrock story? When the Irish struggled to understand the Trinity, Patrick picked a shamrock showing three leaves but one plant—helping them grasp Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God.

Patrick died on March 17, 493 AD—which is why we celebrate today—after nearly 30 years of missionary work in Ireland.

[The lasting impact - Ireland's golden age]

But the story doesn't end there! After Patrick's death, Ireland became crucial to preserving Christianity during Europe's Dark Ages. The Irish Celtic Church sent out many missionaries and preserved learning through monasteries.

In the first 250 years after Patrick's death, around 500 Irish saints were recognized. Irish missionaries established monasteries throughout Scotland, England, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Italy. They copied manuscripts, preserved learning, and spread the Gospel throughout Europe.

Historians call this Ireland's "Golden Age"—when this small island became the intellectual and spiritual center of Western Christianity. And it all traces back to one former slave who forgave his captors and returned to preach the Gospel.

[Christianity in Ireland today - the decline]

So what about Ireland today? The situation is heartbreaking. According to the 2022 Irish census, only 69% identify as Catholic—down from 84% in 2011. Those with "no religion" have grown to 14%, more than doubling in a decade. Church attendance has plummeted—only 10-15% of those under 35 attend weekly Mass.

Why? Clerical abuse scandals devastated trust. Rapid economic modernization brought secularization. Younger generations see institutional Christianity as oppressive. Ireland legalized same-sex marriage (2015) and abortion (2018), showing how much values have shifted.

[Signs of hope - new growth]

But there are signs of hope! Evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity is growing in Ireland, though from a small base. There are approximately 50,000-70,000 evangelical Christians in 500-600 churches. Many are vibrant, growing, and reaching younger generations with biblical teaching and authentic community.

Ireland is also receiving immigrants from Poland, Romania, Brazil, and Nigeria who are planting churches and bringing fresh spiritual energy. Organizations now include Ireland as a mission field! Just as Patrick was once a captive taken from Britain to Ireland and returned as a missionary, today people from former British colonies are coming to Ireland as missionaries!

[What we can learn - Patrick's example]

What can we learn from Patrick's story? First, suffering can be preparation—Patrick's slavery prepared him to reach the Irish. Second, forgiveness opens mission fields—Patrick forgave his captors and returned to serve them. Third, training national leaders multiplies impact—Patrick trained Irish priests who then reached all of Europe. Fourth, long-term commitment produces lasting fruit—Patrick spent nearly 30 years in Ireland.

[How to pray for Ireland]

Pray for spiritual awakening in Ireland. Pray for evangelical churches to grow and multiply. Pray for young people who have rejected Christianity to encounter the living Christ. Pray for immigrant Christians to be salt and light. Pray for protection against further secularization.

[Personal reflection and closing]

As I think about my great-great-grandmother from Ireland and my grandma Esther who went to be with Jesus on St. Patrick's Day, I'm reminded that faith is passed down through generations. Patrick planted faith in Ireland. Irish monks kept faith alive in Europe. Irish immigrants brought faith to America. And now we pray for faith to return to Ireland.

This St. Patrick's Day, remember Patrick—the slave who became a saint, the captive who returned as a missionary, the man whose forgiveness changed a nation and shaped Western civilization.

And ask yourself: What is God calling me to do that seems as impossible as returning to those who enslaved me? Where is God preparing me through suffering? Who am I called to forgive and reach with the Gospel?

[Closing prayer]

Let me pray: Lord Jesus, thank you that we can look to Patrick as an example of a man who was sold out to You and had a servant’s heart. He truly loved his enemies and those who hurt him. He obeyed Your calling, even though it must have been very difficult. Please help each of us to learn from him. We also pray for Ireland, that the spark that once burnt brightly there, for You Lord Jesus, will once again be fanned into a flame! May it be so Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen. 

Thank you for joining me for this St. Patrick's Day special. May Patrick's story inspire you to radical obedience and radical forgiveness.

Until next time, remember—keep your eyes on the nations, including Ireland, and answer God's call wherever it leads!

Afghanistan's Faithful Witnesses: Stories of Sacrifice and Fruit That Remains

Hello, and welcome back to Nations 4 Jesus. Today I need to share some stories that are both heartbreaking and inspiring—stories of modern martyrs in Afghanistan, one of the most dangerous places on earth to follow Jesus. These are stories of people who gave everything to bring the Gospel to a nation that desperately needs it. And I'm going to share something deeply personal with you—how I know that their sacrifice was not in vain.

Afghanistan. Just saying the name conjures images of war, Taliban rule, oppression, and danger. It's ranked as the most dangerous country in the world for Christians according to Open Doors' 2025 World Watch List. There are no open churches. Owning a Bible is illegal. Converting from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death. Afghan Christians must practice their faith in absolute secrecy.

Yet even there—especially there—God is at work. And faithful believers have given their lives to see Afghans come to know Jesus.

[Christianity in Afghanistan - ancient and hidden]

First, let me give you some context about Christianity in Afghanistan. Christianity actually has ancient roots there. Afghanistan was once part of the Persian Empire, and Christianity spread along the Silk Road in the early centuries after Christ. There were Christian communities in what is now Afghanistan as early as the 4th and 5th centuries.

But with the rise of Islam in the 7th century, Christianity was gradually pushed out. By the time of the Mongol invasions and subsequent Islamic rule, Christianity had nearly disappeared from Afghanistan. For centuries, there was virtually no Christian presence.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, some Western missionaries tried to enter Afghanistan, but with little success. The country has been hostile to Christian missions for hundreds of years. During the Soviet occupation (1979-1989) and the subsequent civil war and Taliban rule, Afghanistan became one of the world's most closed nations.

Today, estimates suggest there are between 10,000 and 30,000 Afghan Christians—all of them secret believers, almost all converts from Islam. They cannot attend church openly. They cannot own Bibles openly. They cannot tell their families they follow Jesus without risking death. Yet they believe. And their faith has been watered by the blood of martyrs.

[Werner Groenewald - educator and witness]

Let me tell you about Werner Groenewald. Werner was a South African, 46 years old, who had been working in Afghanistan and Pakistan for about 12 years. He worked with Partnership in Academics and Development, a U.S.-based education charity, focusing on education, training for Afghans, English as a second language, and life skills.

Werner wasn't operating as a traditional missionary in the sense of openly preaching and planting churches—that would have been impossible in Afghanistan. He was an educator and aid worker. But make no mistake—he was there because of his love for Jesus and his desire to serve the Afghan people in Christ's name. His work was an expression of his faith, even if it had to be quiet.

Werner lived in Kabul with his wife, Dr. Hannelie Groenewald, who worked at a hospital, and their children. For over a decade, they sacrificed the comforts and safety of South Africa to serve some of the world's most vulnerable people.

[The attack - November 29, 2014]

On November 29, 2014, everything changed. Gunmen attacked the compound in Kabul belonging to Partnership in Academics and Development. The attackers claimed it was a "secret Christian missionary center." One of the gunmen had a suicide vest. In the attack, Werner Groenewald and his two teenage children were killed.

Their two sons were Jean-Pierre, age 17. Rode, age 15. Teenagers with their whole lives ahead of them. Children who had grown up in Afghanistan, who had learned to love the Afghan people, who were serving alongside their parents.

They were murdered because the Taliban viewed their father's educational work as Christian mission. And they were right—it was. Not in a covert way, but in the sense that Werner's love for Afghans flowed from his love for Christ.

Dr. Hannelie Groenewald was away at the hospital when the attack happened. She survived, but lost her husband and two children in one horrific day.

[The fruit that remains - a personal testimony]

Now let me tell you why I'm sharing this story. I know a family—an Afghan family—who came to Christ through Werner Groenewald's ministry. I have seen their baptism certificate, signed by Werner himself. When I learned about Werner's death, I reached out to his wife, Hannelie, and I let her know: The family Werner led to Christ is still following Jesus in Afghanistan almost ten years later. Despite the danger. Despite the persecution. Despite everything. They are faithfully following Jesus.

Werner's death was not in vain. His children's deaths were not in vain. The seeds they planted are still bearing fruit. Jesus said in John 12:24, "Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."

Werner and Jean-Pierre and Rode were grains of wheat that fell to the ground and died. And they're producing fruit—fruit that remains.

[Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer - imprisoned for the Gospel]

Let me tell you about two other women whose story with Afghanistan is different but equally powerful: Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer. These two American women were aid workers with Shelter Now International in Kabul in 2001.

On August 3, 2001, they were arrested by the Taliban on charges of proselytizing—sharing the Gospel with Afghans. This was during the height of Taliban rule, before the U.S. invasion following 9/11. Being accused of proselytizing in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan was essentially a death sentence.

Dayna and Heather were imprisoned for 105 days. Think about that—three and a half months in a Taliban prison as accused Christian missionaries. Can you imagine the fear? The uncertainty? The very real possibility of execution?

But God had other plans. On November 15, 2001, just weeks after the U.S. invasion began in response to 9/11, they were rescued. The Taliban fled Kabul, and Dayna and Heather were freed.

[Prisoners of Hope - their testimony]

After their release, Dayna and Heather co-authored a memoir titled "Prisoners of Hope: The Story of Our Captivity and Freedom in Afghanistan." That title is so powerful—"Prisoners of Hope." Even in a Taliban prison, facing possible execution, they had hope. Hope in Christ. Hope that God was sovereign. Hope that their suffering had purpose.

Their story brought international attention to the plight of Afghan Christians and the brutality of Taliban rule. It also demonstrated the courage of young Christian women willing to serve in one of the world's most dangerous places for the sake of the Gospel.

What strikes me about Dayna and Heather is this: They knew the risks. They knew Afghanistan was dangerous for Christians. They went anyway. And when they were arrested, they didn't renounce their faith to save themselves. They held onto Christ and trusted Him through the terror.

[The state of Afghan Christianity today]

So what's the state of Christianity in Afghanistan today? It's worse than ever in some ways. When the U.S. and coalition forces withdrew in August 2021 and the Taliban retook control, Afghan Christians faced renewed persecution. Many fled the country. Some who couldn't escape went even deeper underground.

According to Open Doors, Afghanistan has been the #1 most dangerous country for Christians every year since 2022. If a convert to Christianity is discovered, they face honor killing by their own family, execution by the Taliban, or both. There are no church buildings. All worship must be completely secret. Possessing a Bible or Christian materials can lead to death.

Yet there are believers! Estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 secret Afghan Christians. They meet in tiny house churches of two or three people. They can't tell their own families. They risk everything just to pray in Jesus's name. And many of them came to faith through the witness of people like Werner Groenewald, Dayna Curry, Heather Mercer, and countless other faithful workers who served in Afghanistan over the years.

[Why they go - love compels them]

So why do Christians go to Afghanistan? Why risk everything for a nation so hostile to the Gospel? Why would Werner Groenewald raise his children there? Why would Dayna and Heather serve there knowing they could be arrested or killed?

Because they love Jesus. And because Jesus loves Afghans. Second Corinthians 5:14 says, "For Christ's love compels us." They couldn't stay comfortable in South Africa or America when Afghans were perishing without the Gospel. They had to go.

And because they believed Romans 10:14-15: "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'"

Afghans deserve to hear about Jesus. God loves them just as much as He loves Americans or South Africans or anyone else. And if no one goes and tells them, how will they hear?

[The cost and the fruit - was it worth it?]

Was it worth it? Did Werner's death and his children's deaths accomplish anything? Did Dayna and Heather's imprisonment matter?

Here's how I know it was worth it: That Afghan family with the baptism certificate signed by Werner Groenewald. They're still following Jesus almost ten years later. They're risking their lives every day to worship the King. They're raising their children to know Christ in a nation where that could get them all killed.

That's fruit that remains. That's eternal impact. That's what Jesus meant when He said, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last" (John 15:16).

And there are others—we don't know how many because they must stay hidden. But secret believers scattered across Afghanistan, meeting in twos and threes, reading their hidden Bibles, praying in whispers, and trusting that one day Jesus will return and make all things right.

[Our response - what should we do?]

So what should be our response to these stories? Let me give you four things.

First, pray for Afghan Christians. Pray every day for those 10,000 to 30,000 secret believers. Pray for their protection. Pray for their courage. Pray that they won't deny Christ under pressure. Pray for their families who don't know they're Christians. Pray that more Afghans would come to faith.

Second, support ministries reaching Afghans. There are radio broadcasts in Dari and Pashto. There are online resources. There are ministries working with Afghan refugees who have fled to other countries. Support these efforts financially and with prayer.

Third, reach Afghan refugees in your own community. Many Afghans who fled when the Taliban returned are now living in Western countries as refugees. They're more open to the Gospel outside Afghanistan. Befriend them. Serve them. Share Christ with them. They need to know that Jesus loves them.

Fourth, be willing to go if God calls you. I'm not saying everyone should move to Afghanistan—that's impossible for most people and currently extremely dangerous. But some of you listening might be called to work with Afghan refugees, or to serve in nearby countries where Afghans can be reached, or to join ministries focused on the Muslim world. If God calls, will you go?

[The promise - persecution doesn't stop the Gospel]

Here's what we need to understand: Persecution doesn't stop the Gospel. In fact, it often spreads it! Tertullian was right: "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." Werner Groenewald's blood, along with his children's, was seed that produced fruit in Afghan soil. Dayna and Heather's imprisonment became a testimony that reached millions.

Jesus promised in Matthew 16:18: "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Not even Taliban gates. Not even in Afghanistan—the hardest place on earth for Christians. Jesus is building His church there, one secret believer at a time.

[Closing prayer]

Let me pray:

Thank you for joining me today. The story of Afghan Christians challenges us all. Will we pray for them? Will we support efforts to reach them? Will we go if God calls us?

Until next time, remember—keep your eyes on the nations, and never forget that even in the darkest places, Jesus is building His church!

Korea Part 1: From Hermit Kingdom to Christianity's Greatest Miracle

Hello, and welcome back to Nations 4 Jesus. Today I'm starting a three-part series that's very close to my heart—the story of the Korean church. My family lived in Seoul, South Korea from 2006 to 2008 during Jeff's service with the U.S. Air Force, and we absolutely loved it! We loved the people, the culture, the food, and especially our amazing church, Jubilee. Korea captured our hearts in a way few places have.

And next March, our youngest daughter is going to Seoul to participate in a Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School for five months. So as I researched and prepared this series, I found myself even more passionate about sharing Korea's remarkable story with you.

How did a nation that once called itself the "Hermit Kingdom," closed off from the world and hostile to Christianity, become home to some of the most vibrant churches on earth? How did brutal persecution under Japanese occupation produce heroes of the faith whose courage rivals any martyr in church history? This is a story of suffering and triumph, of faithfulness under fire—and it begins with a Welsh missionary who threw Bibles from a burning ship as he died.

[Robert Jermain Thomas - the seed that died]

In 1866, a Welsh missionary named Robert Jermain Thomas felt a powerful call to bring the Bible to Korea. At that time, Korea was completely closed to foreigners and Christianity was illegal—both foreigners and local converts faced execution. But Thomas couldn't shake his burden for this isolated nation.

He joined a U.S. merchant ship called the General Sherman, which sailed up the Taedong River toward Pyongyang. Thomas brought along Bibles written in Chinese—the only script Koreans could read. When Korean officials stopped the ship and tensions escalated, fighting broke out. The Koreans set the ship on fire, killing the crew as it burned.

But as the ship burned, witnesses later recounted something remarkable: Thomas threw Bibles to people on the shore, shouting for them to take and read. When he was captured, he reportedly handed his last Bible to a Korean soldier before being executed—praying for Korea as he died.

[The Bible House - God's sovereign preparation]

Years later, in the village of Pyongyang, locals used the pages of Thomas's Bibles as wallpaper inside a small house. Over time, visitors began reading the words printed on the walls, and some came to faith through them. That house became known as the "Bible House." Though Thomas never saw a single Korean convert, his death and those Bible pages became legendary. He was "the seed of the Korean church," fulfilling Jesus' words in John 12:24: "Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

[Christianity arrives officially - 1880s opening]

It wasn't until the 1880s that Korea officially opened to foreign missionaries. The first Protestant missionaries arrived in 1884—medical missionaries and Bible translators including Horace Underwood, a Presbyterian who came in 1885. What they found stunned them: some people in Pyongyang had already read portions of Scripture—from Robert Thomas's Bible pages!

Christianity grew explosively because it offered something revolutionary in Korean society: the idea that all people—regardless of class, gender, or family background—were equal before God. In a culture dominated by strict Confucian hierarchy, this message was dynamite. Women especially embraced Christianity because it gave them dignity and education they'd never had.

[Rapid growth through education and independence]

By the early 1900s, Christianity was tied to education, modernization, and national independence. Missionaries established schools and universities, teaching not just the Bible but reading, science, and democratic ideals. When Japan annexed Korea in 1910, ending Korean independence, the church became a center of resistance. The famous March 1st Movement of 1919, where millions peacefully demonstrated for independence, was organized largely by Christian leaders. Japan responded with brutal crackdown, but the connection between Christianity and Korean nationalism was firmly established.

[The Dark Ages begin - 1937 Japanization]

Everything changed in 1937 when Japan launched full-scale war with China and decided to completely erase Korean identity. This period from 1937 to 1945 became known as the "Dark Ages." Japan implemented Japanization: forced Japanese names in 1939, banned Korean language, erased Korean history from education, and conscripted hundreds of thousands into forced labor.

But for Christians, the worst policy was forced Shinto worship. Beginning in the late 1930s, all citizens had to participate in Shinto shrine worship. The Japanese called it patriotic duty, not religion. But Christians knew this was idolatry—bowing before idols, worshiping the Emperor as a god. Churches faced an impossible choice: comply and survive, or resist and face destruction.

[Esther Ahn Kim - refusing to bow]

Esther Ahn Kim was a music teacher who, in 1939, was ordered to take her students to bow at a Shinto shrine. She refused, believing it violated the First Commandment. Her defiance cost her job and made her a fugitive. She spent years hiding in mountain villages, memorizing entire books of the Bible, preparing for the imprisonment she knew was coming.

In 1943, she was arrested for helping others resist shrine worship. She was imprisoned for six years, enduring cold, starvation, and beatings. But instead of breaking, Esther sang hymns in her cell, shared Scripture with fellow prisoners, and led women to faith—including some of her Japanese guards! After liberation in 1945, she wrote "If I Perish," which became a Christian classic. Her words still challenge us: "If I am to die, I will die for the Lord. If I am to live, I will live for the Lord."

[Pastor Joo Ki-Chul - no compromise]

Pastor Joo Ki-Chul, a Presbyterian pastor in Pyongyang—the very city where Robert Thomas had died decades earlier—boldly preached that Christians could not worship at Shinto shrines. He called it idolatry. The Japanese repeatedly imprisoned and tortured him. Each time he emerged and continued preaching: "If I serve two masters, am I a true servant of Christ?" In 1944, he died under torture rather than deny his faith. Today he's memorialized as one of Korea's greatest martyrs.

[Rev. Son Yang-won - grace and forgiveness]

Reverend Son Yang-won was also imprisoned for rejecting shrine worship. But what makes his story remarkable is what happened after liberation. During the Korean War, Communists killed his two sons. When the murderer was captured, Rev. Son did something stunning—he adopted the man who had killed his sons and forgave him publicly. His writings on grace became famous worldwide.

[Underground church and the fruit of faithfulness]

While these heroes became famous, thousands of ordinary believers worshiped secretly in forests and mountains, reading the Bible in whispers, teaching children hymns when Korean was banned. This underground network sustained the faith through the Dark Ages. The Japanization campaign sought to erase Christianity, but through believers who refused to bow, the faith not only survived—it deepened.

After liberation in 1945, the Korean church exploded in growth. Churches that had gone underground emerged stronger. Young people who'd watched their parents stand firm became passionate believers. The seed that Robert Thomas planted by dying in 1866, the faithfulness of believers who refused Shinto worship—all of it produced an incredible harvest.

[The division and preview]

But liberation brought new challenges. Korea was divided along the 38th parallel—North occupied by Soviets, South by Americans. Pyongyang, once called the "Jerusalem of the East" because of its many churches, became capital of the world's most oppressive Communist regime. Christians who survived Japanese occupation now faced even worse persecution. Meanwhile, South Korea's church continued explosive growth.

Today, South Korea is over 30% Christian with some of the world's largest churches. When we lived in Seoul from 2006-2008, we experienced this vibrant Christianity firsthand at Jubilee Church. The passion, the prayer culture, the commitment to missions—it was unlike anything we'd experienced in America! Korean missionaries now serve in over 170 countries. The Korean church that suffered so much has become one of the greatest missionary-sending forces in the world!

In our next episode, we'll look at Korea's division and how North Korea became the worst persecutor of believers while the South became a Christian powerhouse.

[Closing challenge]

Let the example of Robert Thomas, Esther Ahn Kim, Pastor Joo, and Rev. Son challenge you. Would you be willing to lose everything for Christ? Would you choose faithfulness over survival? These believers did—and their witness still inspires us today.

Let me pray: 

Until next time, remember—keep your eyes on the nations and never compromise your witness for Christ!

Episode Description: 1866: Welsh missionary Robert Jermain Thomas threw Bibles from his burning ship as he died praying for Korea—pages became wallpaper in "Bible House" where Koreans first read Scripture. Japan's 1937-1945 campaign forced Shinto shrine worship—the ultimate test of faith. Esther Ahn Kim refused to bow, imprisoned 6 years, sang hymns and led guards to Christ. Pastor Joo Ki-Chul died under torture in Pyongyang. Their faithfulness under Japan's "Dark Ages" produced Korea's explosive post-1945 revival—Christianity's greatest Asian success story. The seed Thomas planted bore extraordinary fruit.
