Definition
Martyr
A martyr is a believer who sacrifices their life for the sake of the Gospel and their unwavering commitment to Christ. These individuals face death rather than renounce their faith, often in regions where Christianity is opposed or restricted. Martyrs are seen as witnesses to the transformative power of the Gospel, embodying the ultimate form of discipleship as they follow Christ’s example of self-sacrifice (Matthew 16:24-25).
Martyrs in missions are often regarded as catalysts for church growth, as their sacrifice inspires others to remain steadfast in the faith, even under persecution. Their legacy plays a powerful role in advancing the Gospel, particularly in hostile and unreached areas.
