From CT contributor Franco Iacomini: Venezuelan church leaders are used to difficulties. The first time I reported about the country was after the 2024 elections, when violent protests erupted in many cities over electoral fraud. On that occasion, some pastors didn’t want to be quoted, fearing retaliation from authorities. One of them spoke with me by phone, his voice swallowed by the noise of a cacerolazo—a form of demonstration where citizens bang pots and pans in their windows to express their discontentment.

This time, I reported on the devastating earthquakes that rocked the capital city of Caracas and the coastal region of La Guaira last Wednesday. Communication was not easy, as the quake affected telecom and energy. There is a shortage of food, drinking water, medicine, and doctors. The government is not able to provide emergency relief, so Venezuelans can only rely on each other.

Christians are standing in solidarity with their neighbors. The threat of further tremors, disease, or looting cannot stop them. The disasters are—as one of the pastors quoted in my piece put it—signs of a world awaiting redemption.

Throughout Scripture, God calls his people to be faithful and steadfast as we abide in him. Isaiah reminds us our faithfulness is fleeting "like the flowers of the field," yet our hope is secure when we place it in God, so our strength is renewed (Isa. 40:6, 31). In this issue, we consider stories of resilience. Historian Thomas S. Kidd shares missionary Adoniram Judson’s hardship and fortitude in Burma (now Myanmar). Emily Belz reports on Minnesota churches today that are supporting persecuted Karen Christians, also from Myanmar. Haleluya Hadero reports on groups who are determined to help Gary, Indiana, achieve a more resilient future. We also consider Tish Harrison Warren’s new book and feature an interview with her. Rooted in the person of Jesus Christ, Christian resilience is about more than having grit or bouncing back.
