When the world came to a halt due to COVID-19, many Christians faced an uncertain future.

As food shortages and health crises grew, many members of our persecuted family were cut off from government aid and the resources they needed. Christians who turned to the government for help were sent away empty-handed. In some instances, Christians were asked to convert to Islam to receive aid.

"During the last two months, I was rejected at two food aid distributions for being a Christian," Kausar Bibi, a believer in Pakistan, told ICC in May.

In response to reports like these, ICC launched the COVID-19 Crisis fund. Through this initiative, ICC has raised $327,316 and served over 27,000 persecuted Christians from 11 countries around the world.

"This aid comes as a miracle for my family," Bibi told ICC after receiving a desperately needed food package. "My kids will enjoy the food for the next few weeks. We hope we will soon be able to earn an income and feed them. God bless you." Learn more: bit.ly/2KLCF2K … See MoreSee Less

After their son experienced a miraculous healing at the hands of Jesus, Bassam and his wife turned from their fundamentalist Muslim background and placed their trust in Christ. However, life’s troubles did not stop there. Bassam and his family began receiving death threats, prompting them to flee their home.

In response, we stepped in to provide Bassam with a taxi business so that he could continue providing for his family with dignity. He expressed, "We prayed to God, but the answer exceeded our expectations. I wasn’t prepared for such [a] big blessing."

It is our privilege to serve as the bridge between you and our persecuted brothers and sisters. On this Giving Tuesday, thank you for considering believers like Bassam in their time of need. Click here to learn more about how you can give today: www.persecution.org/christmas/ … See MoreSee Less
