John, A few days ago, 22 Christians settled into their pews, oblivious to the Islamic violence that would soon mercilessly take their lives. The world hardly batted an eye. In Nigeria, Boko Haram militants stormed into a church during Sunday service, killing these dear saints – including women and children. Butchered simply because they chose to worship Jesus. Residents are screaming for help: "Please pray for God's intervention." This horror is not an isolated event – 90% of all Christians killed worldwide are in Nigeria. Christians live in a constant state of terror. How many more will die before the world truly pays attention? We have been paying attention – expanding our Persecution Project – preparing numerous legal memoranda, oral interventions, advocacy letters, and policy proposals. We are urging the U.N. Human Rights Council, U.S. officials, and world leaders to take urgent action. But we need your voice. We can only make a difference because of YOUR VOICE. Add your name to our efforts as we intervene for Christians in Nigeria. Sign: Stop Genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Read: The Continuing Threat of Radical Islam. It's evil like we've never seen: 70 Christians were marched into a church and beheaded. Christians are being burned alive. Indiscriminate sexual assault is pervasive. All of this is happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by suspected radical Islamic militants with ties to ISIS. The extremist group wants to wipe out Christians in the region. Local church leaders are devastated: "We don't know what to do or how to pray; we've had enough of massacres." We MUST have urgency. We are going back to the U.N. and redoubling our efforts with written submissions due in a matter of days. Our demand to the U.N. is this: Prosecute those responsible for the mass executions, and provide aid and protection for Christians. Additionally, we are working tirelessly to get this issue before Congress and the Trump Administration. But we need your voice to make headway on this issue. Sign: Protect Christians in the Congo From ISIS. Human trafficking is a global crisis impacting 50 million people. We urgently filed six U.N. reports exposing horrific trafficking in six nations. Women and children are being exploited daily, and governments must act now – justice for victims and accountability for traffickers cannot wait. Read which six nations we highlighted in our reports and why. Read: Exposing the Horrors of Human Trafficking. Sign: Stop the Scourge of Human Trafficking. Shahzad, just a teen when he was arrested, has already lost eight years of his life behind bars. He was arrested for a "crime" that even local Pakistani authorities admitted in court he didn't commit. Now he will die unless we take urgent action to save him – we will be advocating for him before the U.N. in a matter of days. Add your voice to his defense as we speak up for him. Sign: Save Young Christian Man From Execution.
