Jesus!
Next question?
I understand all of the arguments pertaining to the risk posed by living in the ME. I would have a very difficult time bringing my children into a muslim country to serve. However, we should not let this shock us too much. In church history, many of the earliest martyrs were young men and women, teenagers. The died by the sword or the lion's mouth in the Coliseum. Every christian, even young ones, should pray for grace to be able to stand for one's faith even to the death. As a christian, there are worse things than dying for one's faith.
