Despite the blood, despite what they lose, the one thing they never let go of is their faith.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The cleats also include Scripture, citing Matthew 5:10, &ldquo;Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also imagery of hands praying, which is evergreen daily advice for Christians.<\/p>\n<p>But perhaps the neatest &mdash; or most ominous &mdash; part of the cleats was the map included on them. The map purports to show the countries where Christianity is most frequently persecuted.<\/p>\n<p>The shoes are also emblazoned with the phrases, &ldquo;Pray For Persecuted Christians&rdquo; and &ldquo;Faith Endures.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They are losing their lives &hellip; yet they&rsquo;re staying faithful,&rdquo;&nbsp; Henderson told GCR. &ldquo;Their faithfulness emboldens me to be bold here in the U.S.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It can&rsquo;t be overstated how heartwarming it is to see a young man with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-debate-meltdown-put-us-all-in-danger\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Debate Meltdown Put Us All In Danger\">world &#038;mdash<\/a>; and a heck of a football career &mdash; ahead of him choosing to bring attention to the plight of persecuted Christians across the world.<\/p>\n<p>(For the naysayers, there are a number of countries in the world, many of them predominantly Muslim, that have blasphemy laws on the books.
