Dr. Tom Little - A Modern Martyr (UPDATED)

Yesterday morning I was reading the news and was shocked to see a name I recognized.  It is a story that I was have dismissed in my mind as a tragedy and then moved on to bigger things.   "Dr. Tom Little" for  Delmar NY.  So close to my hometown.  A missionary supported from my home church (1st Presbyterian, Schenectady, NY).  A man I had the privilege to meet a few times growing up.  A man that served people & his Lord well.  A man that in the face of the threats of wars and violence, stayed to serve.  Even threatened with death threats, he persevered.  I trust that today he has a place of honor in Glory.

If you came across this blog, Christian or not, I would encourage you to take the time to check out these articles about him (and remember to pray for the families):
