The Story the Church is Called to Tell

Today I read in my morning devotion the following:

In 1983 a group of Youth With A Mission daredevils unfolded a banner on Easter Sunday morning in Red Square: “Christ is Risen!” it read in Russian. Some older Russians fell to their knees and wept. Soldiers soon surrounded the hymn-singing troublemakers, tore up their banner, and hustled them off to jail. Less than a decade later, all over Red Square on Easter Sunday people were greeting each other in the traditional way, “Christ is risen!” … “He is risen indeed!”
