February 15, 2015. 21 construction workers beheaded on a beach. Not pastors. Not missionaries. Guys who poured concrete. Laid brick. Sent money home. They died screaming "Ya Rabb Yesua!" - "Lord Jesus!" Your men's group can't even pray out loud at Starbucks: ๐Ÿงต

These were Egyptian migrant workers. They left families to pour foundations in Libya. Working construction in 115ยฐ heat. Sending every dollar home. ISIS didn't capture them at church. They kidnapped them from job sites. Blue collar martyrs.

For MONTHS before execution: - Sleep deprivation - Daily beatings - Psychological warfare - Constant offers to convert Not one broke. Not one denied Christ. 21 construction workers. Zero seminary degrees. 100% martyrs.

ISIS filmed it for propaganda. As terrorists positioned knives, multiple men crying: "Ya Rabb Yesua!" They KNEW cameras were rolling. KNEW families would see. CHOSE to scream Jesus's name. Your men's group won't even post Bible verses.

The 21st man wasn't even Coptic. Matthew Ayariga from Ghana. Watched 20 men refuse Islam with blades at throats. Asked to reject Jesus, he said: "Their God is my God." Chose instant death over denying a God he'd just met through martyrdom.

ISIS positioned them facing the Mediterranean. Their blood literally flowed into the sea. The same sea Paul sailed spreading the Gospel. The same sea where Christianity spread. 21 construction workers' blood joining 2,000 years of witness. While we worry about being "cringe."

MOST MEN'S GROUP: 21 COPTIC WORKERS: Coffee and donuts โŒ โ†’ Torture and starvation "Accountability" โŒ โ†’ Actual death sentence Prayer requests โŒ โ†’ "Ya Rabb Yesua!" screamed Safe suburbs โŒ โ†’ Libyan beach execution Which one

They weren't killed holding Bibles. They were killed holding hammers. Kidnapped from scaffolding. Tortured in warehouses. Executed as laborers. Jesus was a carpenter. His modern disciples were construction workers. Our white-collar faith would've denied Him.

21 men who poured concrete had more faith than most denominations. They couldn't quote systematic theology. They could die screaming "LORD JESUS!" They couldn't parse Greek. They could bleed into history. Which Christianity is real?

The Coptic Church declared them saints. February 15th is their feast day. Construction workers became eternal heroes. Meanwhile, most pastors won't even mention them because it's "too political." Their blood testified. Our silence convicts. Who's really following Christ?

These 21 construction workers are Chapter 7. Between Chinese pastors livestreaming from prison and Charlie Kirk bleeding out on stage. "BLOOD AND BANDWIDTH: When Real Martyrs Shame Your Faith" 3 years documenting martyrs the media ignores. Physical book. $50. Ships October.

@SlayStupidity These men are Catholic Martyrs. They are saints. They are truly blessed.

@SlayStupidity Then there was the last man, a muslim. When they asked him about whether he was a muslim or not, he said; "Their God is my God".. He was beheaded....

@SlayStupidity Who in their right mind drinks Starbucks Coffee? ๐Ÿ˜‰

@SlayStupidity Lord give us faith and strength like these men. Give us your Holy Spirit

@SlayStupidity And we have some 'Christian' pastors asked to pray before government meetings who will voluntarily refrain from praying in Jesus's name so they won't offend.

@SlayStupidity May God make us faithful to the end
