It’s an uncomfortable fact to be reminded about.
About 1 in every 8 believers experiences suffering or outright persecution for their faith. And the number is growing.
The Bible tells us that we should pray for those who are mistreated as if we ourselves are mistreated and that if one member of the body suffers, we all suffer.
The WEA Global Advocacy team works hard all year long intervening on behalf of Evangelical family members who have been jailed, harassed, or discriminated against because of their faith. We raise these violations with world leaders, governing bodies, and other authorities. It’s hard work. We’re humbled by the positive outcomes that are achieved. Pastors are released from prison. Churches are re-opened. Discriminatory laws are reversed.
