Massacres in Nigeria and assaults within the Center East have sparked U.S. congressmen to introduce a decision condemning the persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority nations
Rep. Riley M. Moore and Sen. Josh Hawley denounced the rampant violence many Christians undergo for believing in Jesus Christ. “We as lawmakers can’t proceed to sit down idly by,” Rep. Moore. “I urge my colleagues to hitch me in condemning the persecution of Christians throughout the globe.”
The decision outlines the abuses Christians undergo in quite a few international locations. It urges the President to prioritize the safety of persecuted Christians in diplomatic engagements, commerce negotiations, nationwide safety discussions, and efforts to stabilize the Center East.
“This decision attracts consideration to the atrocities being dedicated in opposition to Christians in Muslim majority international locations. 1000’s of Christians are killed, and hundreds of thousands undergo as Islamist extremism spreads. Nobody needs to be compelled to decide on between their religion and their life,” stated Wendy Wright, President of Christian Freedom Worldwide.
In lots of the international locations talked about within the decision, the implementation of Islamic/Sharia regulation severely impacts minority communities. Blasphemy legal guidelines are weaponized to silence and punish non-Muslims. In Nigeria alone, hundreds of Christians have misplaced their lives whereas the federal government fails to take any critical actions.
This decision urges authorities officers to behave to the violence.
“Many of those Christians don’t need to flee; they want to stay of their homelands, working towards their religion with out worry. Christian Freedom Worldwide helps persecuted Christians by offering shelter, emergency reduction, life-skill coaching, and extra to these whose lives have been upended by persecution.” stated Wendy Wright, President of Christian Freedom Worldwide.
Pray for:
- Officers to make use of their authority and skills to guard Christians from abuses.
- Christians threatened by persecution to search out power in God’s love.
- Persecutors to reject evil, search forgiveness for his or her crimes, and make restitution to these they harmed.
