Sign Our Petition for the Release of Imprisoned Ethiopian Christians in Saudi Arabia

Friday January 27 2012 11:38 AM | Posted by persecution
 

We've been closely monitoring the imprisonment of a group of Christians in Saudi Arabia. The women were strip-searched and the men were brutally assaulted after holding a prayer meeting. We last talked to one of the prisoners today and he had this to say, "We want you to help us to get out of prison in every way you can, including prayer. Please tell your governments about our plight, contact human rights organizations and others and inform them about us." We can do something to help our fellow brothers and sisters facing this persecution. Their human rights have been violated and are being wrongly persecuted for practicing their faith. Please pray for them, for their health, and for a speedy release from their imprisonment. You can sign our petition to the Saudi Ambassador for the quick release of the prisoners. You can also call the Saudi Arabia Embassy in the United States at (+1) 202 342 3800. Thank you for your prayers and action. We will keep you posted with any further updates we receive.

Indian Authorities Arrest A Pastor After Hindu Radicals Assaulted Him

Keep these Indian Christians in your prayers as they're facing persecution from Indian ultra-nationalists. The ultra-nationalists beat a pastor and another believer, dragged them around the village, and tied the pastor to tree. The police came and arrested the two men and imprisoned them for 24 hours. The two men were accused of "forced conversions," common yet false accusations leveled against believers. There is fear of future persecution at the hands of the Hindu extremists.

Indonesian Believers Praise God Among Persecution

Thursday January 26 2012 11:00 AM | Posted by persecution
 

Be encouraged by this Indonesian church and their resilience to follow God, featured in the video below. They have been denied access to their building by a police blockade. Rather than fold under the pressure, they pray outside and face harassment by Muslim radicals. The supreme court of Indonesia ruled that this church has proper permits and should be allowed back in their building, but the mayor of the city refuses to comply with the ruling.

    This is a cell phone video taken just minutes after the blast from a suicide bomber ripped through a crowd of worshipers leaving a New Years Eve church service in Alexandria, Egypt. Twenty-three were killed in the attack, and more than 90 were injured.

  • Petition

    Join us as we call for the release of 35 Ethiopian Christians who were arrested in Saudi Arabia on December 15th simply for gathering together to pray. Some of the men who were arrested have been assaulted by their interrogators, and a number of the women have contracted illnesses due to the unsanitary means in which they were strip searched by authorities upon their arrest.
