Share Help. Give Hope.

Seventy Christians found inside a church.
All beheaded, reports Gatestone Institute — all tied up and systematically murdered by the Islamist militant group in the Congo known as the Allied Democratic Forces.
One local expert said: “This was not just an act of terror. It was a targeted massacre of Christians, and it will not stop here… The ADF is part of a growing extremist network that wants to wipe out Christianity in the region. If nothing is done, more attacks will follow.”
You and I both know he’s right: The persecution of Christians in countries across Africa and in the Middle East will not stop.
And yet, there is hope.
As Romans 5:3-5 says:
“We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame.”
Share hope today. Reach out with help today.
The persecuted need your support — and your fervent, faithful prayers — more than ever.
In His service,
Mat Staver
