How tragic it is to read the news agencies' version of the story of Rami Ayyad's death. Most of them use the heavily loaded word "activist" to describe this young man who was murdered because he believed in Jesus and was spreading too much good news.
"Activist"? Running a bookshop, spreading good news, helping people with computer classes and other basic skills so they might be able to get a job, doing mercy ministries, helping, caring, praying....how does that make you an activist??
Peacemaker would probably have been a better term.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God" (Matthew 5:9)
God bless! I'm looking forward to meeting Rami Ayyad and many others who have gone before him some day on the new earth.
