Faith Unbroken: U.S. Lawmakers Urge Action for Our Persecuted Christian Family

The suffering of our Christian brothers and sisters across the globe demands our unwavering attention and action. A recent joint resolution introduced in the U.S. Congress highlights the grave reality faced by countless believers.

Here’s a summary of the urgent situation:

  • Who: U.S. Representative Riley Moore (R-WV) and Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), along with bipartisan cosponsors, have introduced a resolution condemning the severe persecution of Christians worldwide.
  • Where: Predominantly in Muslim-majority countries, including Nigeria, Syria, Egypt, Iran, and Pakistan, where violence is rampant.
  • What Happened: The resolution addresses the systematic persecution of over 380 million Christians, which includes targeted killings, forced conversions, church closures, and displacement. This follows atrocities such as the killing of nearly 200 Christians in Nigeria’s Benue state in June, and a jihadist attack in Damascus that left 30 dead during a Divine Liturgy.

As followers of Christ, we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Our brothers and sisters in faith are enduring unimaginable suffering and martyrdom simply for confessing the name of Jesus. Their steadfast courage and unwavering devotion in the face of such profound evil serve as a powerful testament to their faith. We cannot stand idly by while our family is persecuted. It is our moral and spiritual duty to advocate for their freedom, safety, and the fundamental right to worship Christ without fear. This is not just a political issue; it is a call from God to defend His people.

Prayer Point:
Pray for divine wisdom and unyielding resolve for Rep. Moore, Sen. Hawley, and all lawmakers involved in this resolution, that their efforts may be blessed by God to gain traction and effectively prompt the U.S. government to act decisively in defense of our persecuted Christian family worldwide.
