In Southeast Asia, volunteer Shamiel is making great strides in his efforts to bring people together to recognize the issues facing religious minorities. By partnering with the Christian Youth Development Movement, he organized a multifaith gathering called the International Day of Peace. During this event, attendees gathered to stand in solidarity for Christians suffering for their faith in Iraq and other zones of conflict and to discuss how they can best address this issue. Following a moment of silence for the persecuted, participants lit candles together to symbolize the hope that they have for the future of persecuted Christians around the world.
