In Bible class, we did a PBL project on Christian persecution in a country. I was assigned to learn about Christian persecution in Mexico. Mexico is number 43 on the World Watch List. The World Watch List is a list that Open Doors puts out to show the rankings of countries that are being persecuted. There was a couple things that stood out to me while studying Mexico. One is a story. There was a woman and her son that were walking to a church meeting one day. On the way to the meeting, a 15 year old boy attacked the woman with a machete. The woman’s son stepped between his mom and the attacker to try and protect his mom. They both were rushed to a hospital and well cared for. The 15 year old boy was dragged to the hopsital by angry citizens that were going to the church meeting as well. The people threated to hang/burn the attacker. Another fact that stood out to me was that people who believe in Christ are getting disowned by their own family. The last fact that I found interesting was that there was also a war that started in Mexico because of Christian persecution. The war was called the Cristero War. The Christians were getting mad at the Mexican government because of the way they were getting treated. The Christians didn’t like that just because they believed in Christ, they got treated unfairly. One thing that I really like about our part of the project is the website we made. The website has a lot of different pages that explain about Christian persecution in Mexico, and also different fun facts about Mexico. I also like all of the work that was put in to the website.
