In more than 60 countries worldwide, Christians are harassed, abused, arrested, tortured or executed specifically because of their faith.
200,000,000 Christians throughout the world live in daily fear of secret police, vigilantes, or state repression and discrimination.
These are not wild rumors. Nor are these simply Christians who, like so many others, suffer from war or tyranny. Hundreds of millions of Christians are suffering simply because of what they believe.
Yet for some reason, media doesn't cover this? Why is that? Why is it that we continue to trade with countries that are involved in horrible, deplorable practices? Does our greed blind us? Is money more valuable to us than lives?

The Russian Church has experienced perhaps the most severe and sustained levels of persecution in recent history. Martyrs have been numbered in the millions, and the Church's infrastructure was largely destroyed.
In Sudan, the National Islamic Front's forced Islamization campaign continues as one of the most vicious attacks on the Church worldwide. Ongoing reports describe countles Christians sold into slavery, families torn apart, children forced to embrace Islam, churches being destroyed, and believers being tortured and killed. Despite this extreme hardship and persecution, however, the Church in Sudan continues to grow.
Yet we continue to stand by and watch? Why? It is like we are blinded to what is really happening in this world.
