Stand In Their Place was created to bring about more awareness for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are undergoing severe persecution simply for putting their faith and trust in Him. The term itself references Hebrews 13:3.

Bible Smuggling
Voice of the Martyrs 2018 Bibles Issue:

We talked about a picture of believers carrying large boxes of bibles balanced on their shoulders through a rocky rough wilderness. We then…

Persecution in America?!
If you think there is no persecution in America of Christians, you need to listen to the following podcasts from James Dobson’s Family Talk. He interviews a lawyer who defends Christians being persecuted right here in the United States. I won’t give away any details, just let me say my mind is blown after listening to this. BLOWN, that this is going on here. It’s not just overseas my friends,…

Buy Bibles and Bring the Lost to Jesus!
Buy Bibles and Bring the Lost to Jesus!
Often we are overwhelmed with news of persecution and wonder how we can help. I just listened to a sermon by Patrick Klein with Vision Beyond Bordersand I was so inspired by what Bibles in persecuted countries can do! People are so desperate to get their hands on a Bible.

Book Reviews: “Killing Christians” and “Dreams and Visions” by Tom Doyle
When it comes to the persecuted church in the major news headlines it is often rare to find any glimpse of hope or how Christ is using these horrific events to His glory and honor. It is largely assumed that the result of severe persecution always results in death and discouragement for others to accept Christ. In many cases however this could not be further from the truth as Christianity…

Empathize Not Sympathize- The Jesus Way
In secular culture we are programmed to express sympathy whenever something bad happens to someone else. How often do you hear cliché phrases like “I’ll be thinking of you during this time.”, “This too will pass.”, “Things will get better, believe me.”, “I’m so sorry this has happened, know that you are in my thoughts.” … While well-intentioned sympathy hardly has any supportive impact on the…
