Martin Luther King challenged inequality in the world and having experienced discrimination himself, knew that discrimination and segregation were contrary to Jesus' teachings. He took direct action, organising boycotts of public transport buses by black Americans, causing the bus companies to lose their profit margin. He led sit ins and demonstrations, marches and gave speeches despite the risk of taking direct action might have. He was arrested, house bombed, stabbed and was finally shot dead on April 4th 1968. At 39 he had changed the segregation and discrimination laws in America because he was determined to live and work for a world of peace according to his deeply held beliefs and faith in God's will.

5 Men of the New Testament Who Make Good Role Models

- John The Baptist. His message was simple, his lifestyle and looks even simpler, and his desire for self-glorification perhaps non-existent, saying "[Jesus] must increase, and I must decrease" (John 3:30).
- As seen in Acts 6-7, Stephen, the New Testament's most famous food-server, actually became the church's first-ever martyr. This young man, who was full of the Holy Spirit, was so happy to serve the Lord in whatever capacity the Almighty gave him that he was chosen as a key man in taking care of the Greek-speaking widows in his time. Not only that, this simple kitchen worker became a mighty preacher and died a death that should inspire all of us
