This is a story of tragic circumstances and a trustworthy God.

John and Betty Stam were a young Christian couple working for The Lord in China. The year was 1934, a turbulent time in history and the Stams were right in the thick of it. Calm in the face of trouble the Stams trusted in their loving heavenly father – and you can too! 

In the story of two young martyrs who believed in God and in his call on their lives, there is heartbreak and there is strength. The painful story of John and Betty Stam retains a spark of hope through the power of their testimony and the life of their infant daughter who survived them.
