“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them;
for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you.
He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 

Dave Howard, in his book, By the Power of the Holy Spirit, tells this story of a courageous pastor:

“Luperico Taba was a fearless pastor in Colombia. One Sunday he was preaching from his pulpit when a man appeared at a side window of the church, aimed a pistol at Luperico and ordered him to stop preaching. The congregation, seeing the danger, dove to the floor, and hid under the pews. Luperico, however, never flinched. He went right on preaching the gospel. The man fired four shots at him. Two shots went past his head, one on one side, one on the other, and lodged on the wall behind him. Two shots went past his body, one under his arm, one under the other, and also lodged in the wall. The would-be assassin then dropped his gun, and fled. Luperico, still unmoved, continued his sermon.”
