This is Matthew Ayegra.
Eleven years ago, he was killed by Islamic extremists, along with 20 others.
Matthew was not a Christian.
But while held captive, he watched the other prisoners. He saw their faith. Their calm. Their courage. One by one, they were told to deny Christ. One by one, they refused.
That witness changed him.
When it was Matthew’s turn and he was told to renounce Christ, he answered with words that still stop people cold:
“Their God is my God.”
He chose Christ knowing it would cost him his life.
