What if person "Q" is teaching Christianity in a country where the followers of Jesus have been declared criminals for spreading His teachings? All this person does is politely answer questions about the teachings of Jesus and the truth about how to gain entry into the kingdom of heaven. he/she does not force belief on anyone, only answering questions. The government would arrest, jail, and probably execute person "Q" if they find out about them and have done so many times in the recent past.

Do you turn them in? Or do you help them evade that government?

If it matters what government, it's either Sudan or America.
