True, but evangelizing isn't that "mysterious." For some reason, evangelical christians often don't seem interested in evangelizing the arab world
The reason is that mere possession of a bible much less proselytizing in arab countries can result in lengthy prison sentences. Even soldiers in Iraq may not take nor receive in care packages "religious materials".

I think that's true in China, too. But there's been a lot of evangelizing there.

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you"
Matthew 5:10-12
