The Unseen Reality of Persecution
Global Christian persecution is not a relic of the past; it is a pressing, often unseen, reality for millions today. It manifests in diverse and insidious ways – from overt violence and unjust imprisonment to systemic discrimination in employment, education, and civic life. Families are displaced, communities are shattered, and the freedom to worship, share one's faith, or even gather as believers is severely curtailed
Yet, in the midst of such profound challenges, the Church often grows stronger, and faith shines brighter. The stories emerging from these regions are not just of suffering, but of incredible endurance, unwavering hope, and a powerful witness to the sustaining grace of God. These are our brothers and sisters, members of the same body, and their trials echo in our hearts.
