I've been visiting a church for the last few months. It then came out that this church has a thing...for missions. Nothing wrong with that, except they want to send their members as missionaries to the Middle East. People are pressured to go. Or they are brainwashed to go. There are about 20 people who are signing up to go to Lebanon this summer. To preach the Gospel. Yeah that will go over well. I also get the vibe that if you don't go, then you're not doing your all for God.
I brought up the fact that Lebanon is next to Syria which has ISIS who kills Christians. That met with a really warm reception. They keep urging me to go, to do my part to reach out the unsaved Muslims. I'm like, if I want to be a martyr, that's between me and God, and I'm sure as heck not going to do it because of peer pressure.
Am I right for feeling this way, or am I overblowing the dangers of being an American in the Middle East right now?

My church is suicidal
