Chris.
It is rare in these modern days in the affluent Nations of the World to experience suffering for the Body of Christ, the Church. This does not mean that there are no people who are suffering for the Body of Christ. There is still persecution and poverty taking place in many parts of this World and in the 'net' of that persecution and poverty there are many people suffering for the Body of Christ.
