Persecuted Christians Come to America

I love stories like this because it offers hope to those who are being persecuted from other countries.  Here are a few quotes about why this Russian family moved to America.

- Dina Zastavskiy can finally worship God without fear of persecution.

- For some, moving to America was an escape. For others, it was an opportunity.

-Living in America has permitted him and his wife, Yelena, a Ukrainian immigrant, to worship without fear of persecution.

-"It's a little difficult to understand Christianity here because of all the freedom in the country," Zastavskiy said. "Sure, the freedom is nice, but for Christians it's a little bit too much."

-Zastavskiy thinks it will be harder for her children to develop the depth of faith she cultivated in the face of persecution.
