John,
An African village in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was bustling – kids were in school, residents at the market – completely unaware of the nightmare closing in.
Our contacts say that during a raid – one of many – ISIS-linked jihadists swept in with ruthless force, targeting Christian villagers. Residents fled into the rainforest, clinging to hope. They held out for days, but facing starvation, a village leader returned to find food. He was caught and burned alive on the spot. Pictures were circulated by the jihadists as a warning to others.
It's hard for me to even write about the evil being perpetrated in the Congo. Evil is striking fear into the hearts of God's people, but we must defend and intercede for these Christians. At the ACLJ, we are acting with urgency.
JUST YESTERDAY, we submitted critical written submissions to the U.N. Human Rights Council on behalf of the Congo, Pakistan, and India. Our message: Prosecute those responsible for executions and sexual violence, and provide aid and protection for Christians.
We aren't stopping there. We are working with national leaders in Washington, D.C., to bring this issue before Congress and the Trump Administration.
We MUST have the resources we need to fund these international cases and to present on behalf of the persecuted Church before the U.N. We urgently need your Tax-Deductible support to save dying Christians.

To aggressively defend our dying brothers and sisters in Christ, we need your voice. Sign our vital petition to be their voice.

At the same time, we're fighting in multiple cases to stop Christians from being hanged in Pakistan for their faith.
Ahsan was falsely accused of blasphemy, tried in a Pakistani anti-terrorism court, and sentenced to death – even though no evidence was presented against him. And Shahzad was just 16 when he was first arrested and sentenced to death for blasphemy.
As we take action at the U.N., join us before it's too late.

The persecution of Christians in India has intensified alarmingly, with violence soaring under a growing radical Hindu agenda. Despite promises of religious freedom, Christians face brutal attacks, social exclusion, and impossible anti-conversion laws.
This is not just religious intolerance – it is a grave human rights crisis. We must speak out and demand justice, equality, and protection for all.
Sign: Defend India's Persecuted Christians.
