John, On Sunday, the Congo was rocked again by a church massacre of 40 Christians at the hands of ISIS-affiliated terrorists. Families were reportedly participating in a round-the-clock prayer vigil at church when the Islamic terrorists entered the building at 1 a.m. They proceeded to stab and shoot dozens of victims – including many children – in and around the church. Christians in the Congo (DRC) are fatigued by violence. A pastor pleaded: "[My home] is becoming an ocean of tears . . . every day, innocent people are killed." The ACLJ is committed to defending Congolese Christians beleaguered by atrocities. I recently delivered a major oral intervention at the U.N. in Geneva on behalf of persecuted Christians in the Congo. We also sent a crucial letter to Secretary of State Rubio and helped craft a congressional resolution now championed by Rep. Chris Smith. We're aggressively urging the U.N. to take EMERGENCY action to defend Christians facing abduction, and we are imploring a U.N. Special Rapporteur to demand direct action to protect Christian communities to prevent massacres. We are committed to the long-term defense of dying Christians. But to drastically expand this vital legal work, we need your Tax-Deductible support. As we enter the final 3 days of our 35 Years of Justice Drive, have your gift doubled TODAY: $5 becomes $10; $20 becomes $40. Have Your Gift DOUBLED To Defend Dying Christians. ISIS has murdered hundreds of Christians in the Congo just this year. As these Islamic radicals carry out their threats, our Christian brothers and sisters urgently need us. Sign: Protect Christians From Massacre in the Congo.
