"Why did he have to die?" Amy whispered softly, her vision blurred by the tears welling up in her eyes.

Her father had just died while on a mission trip in Africa, captured and stabbed repeatedly to death by one of the tribes.

After the funeral, she bumped into someone. It was a pastor from her church. He had heard her whispered words.

"Amy, you asked God why your father had to die. Do you want to know why?"

"If God is so good, why would he let my father die? Why didn't He do anything to stop them from killing my father?" Amy sobbed.

"God was calling your father home, where he will spend eternity with God. Your father's work here on earth was done. The blood of a martyr will bring revival to a lost soul. Your father is at home, with God now." The pastor said gently to young Amy, and, though she was too young to fully understand what that meant, she nodded and smiled.

A few years later, Amy read in the newspaper of an African tribe that had been persecuted, because they believed in a different God, and had a few survivors who were being tortured and were going to be sacrificed by another tribe to their god. Amy's eyes began to cloud up with tears, as she remembered the pain of her father's death. Then she remembered what the pastor had said so many years ago.

That night, Amy bowed down, tears in her eyes, and prayed for the Africans.
