John, Just hours before Sunday service, Syrian Pastor Mezher of Good Shepherd Evangelical Church and 20 members of his family – siblings, children & parents – were massacred by radical Islamists. Now we face an urgent MIDNIGHT deadline as we fight to save Christians like Pastor Mezher from massacre. Pastor Mezher and his family became martyrs for Jesus, among the over 180 civilians "summarily executed" that weekend. Church leaders in the region are pleading for intervention to save "the lives of young and old" and for people to "pray that this cry reaches the whole world." Just days ago, we filed 13 written submissions to the U.N. Human Rights Council on Christian persecution and human rights violations in the Middle East and Africa. IN JUST DAYS, we are filing a vital submission to the U.N. to hold Syria accountable and pressure it to protect Christians. And we'll be headed back to the U.N. in Geneva next month to continue advocating for dying Christians. These latest massacres come just weeks after a Syrian church bombing that left at least 25 Christians dead and more than 50 traumatically injured. We MUST act with the urgency it deserves. God has called us to defend Christians, whether they're on death row or facing massacre. But this vital work requires resources.

Earlier this year, after ISIS killed hundreds, Syrian pastors were threatened: "Once we have greater control, you will be next." As these Islamic radicals carry out their threats, our Christian brothers and sisters urgently need us. Sign: Protect Christians in Syria From Massacre.
