You and I Are Called to Help

Help the oppressed

So many — too many — examples exist of the widespread persecution and violence against Christians, according to the Gatestone Institute — and on it goes, seemingly unabated:

  • In Nigeria: “Muslims killed about 200 Christians during raids on several villages in January, and then renamed the ‘conquered’ villages with Muslim names.”

  • In Burkina Faso: “Muslim gunmen stormed into a Catholic church during service. They opened fire and murdered 15 Christian worshippers.”

  • In Uganda: “Muslims beat and torched the home of ... a 34-year-old Christian father of three, due to his evangelical work.”

  • In South Sudan: “Christians who are fleeing the war in Sudan are facing persecution from Muslim refugees in both Darfur and the Wedwiel camp in South Sudan ... [T]he 2,000 refugees and internally displaced people in Sudan who have converted to Christianity from Islam all face the threat of persecution."

In news story after news story — community after community — life after life — month after month ...

Christ-followers endure violent attacks and utter brutality for their faith in Jesus. It’s a tragic and devastating reality. My heart breaks for the persecuted worldwide — and in hotspots like Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

But you and I are called to help the oppressed and plead the cause of orphans and widows in distress ... so, help them we must.
