Tragically there was an murderous attack on the Colorado training center for YWAM

Violence is an often forgotten aspect that lingers near missions and ministry. The message of Jesus is a message of grace and life change. But that message is also one of confrontation and challenge.

The shooter @ YWAM & New Life Church apparently had some mental issues and had developed a strong hatred for Christianity, which is ironic since he was a missionary in training @ YWAM in 2002.

While the loss of the YWAM members is tragic and the deaths of the teen sisters @ New Life is heartbreaking, if all were trusting the merits and person of Jesus then they have entered into the elite corps of martyrs that the book of Revelation holds in such high esteem.

Surely we are reminded of the relevancy of Peter's words, "The Devil is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour..."
