They'd do anything to spread the good news. Even die.
"My wife, baby, and myself are today in the hands of the Communists, in the city of Tsingteh. Their demand is twenty thousand dollars for our release," penned missionary John Stam on an icy December day in 1934. But martyrdom, not release, was the destiny of this young missionary couple. During their college years, John Stam and Betty Scott individually sensed God's call to China, to share the gospel in a land enslaved by idol worship and torn apart by a violent Communist uprising.

Marriage, ministry, and the birth of their daughter, Helen, would follow in the next three years. Soon, however, John and Betty would he taken captive and condemned to death.

But their story, and baby Helen's, doesn't end there. The Slams' powerful Christian testimony was carried to the ends of the earth by hundreds of secular newspapers which featured front-page stories about the Stams' faith, dedication—and martyrdom. Many unbelievers turned to Christ; many believers were so moved by the Stams' zeal that they became missionaries themselves. Like the Lord they served, John and Betty Stam reached more people through their death than in the faithful lives they lived.
