For the Sake of Testimony

My friend Nour Massouh sent me a screenshot of a dialogue that took place between two deacons from a sister Church. "Where do you want to spend your life, in Canada, Australia or France..., or do you want to remain in your country, Lebanon, to die in it a death that most probably will be by assassination or oppression...?". This was the general outline of the dialogue. This outline is familiar at a time in which many people are searching for a homeland! However, what transcended what is familiar in it was that one of the interlocutors looked, in his answer, at the "widow's mite" which is thrown in the Churches, and said that he will stay in Lebanon for the sake of this blessed donation that helped him finish his studies for the ministry! For the sake of these blessed people, for serving them, he will remain in the land of his forefathers! I liked to embrace these words, as a testimony for the sake of testimony!
