The Persecuted Church

In the UK we are used to people we know or in the media dismissing the church as old fashioned, irrelevant, etc.  However in many countries admitting to being a Christian is to invite a death sentence.  Many governments declare it a criminal offence to be a Christian, demolish churches or limit what they can do.  Public opinion is so anti-Christian that the authorities let mobs attack churches and Christians.

 

Release International is an inter-denominational Christian ministry working through local church partners in more than 25 countries, helping persecuted Christians prayerfully, pastorally and practically. Its ministry is based on this verse from the Bible:

‘Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.’ 

Hebrews 13 v 3

Chioma Fanawopo, from Release International, came to speak to us on 10 July 2022
