STPC_Cruz_Hebrews133 (PDG) Will you read this short passage with me?
John,
This message may be a bit different from what you’re used to, but frankly,
it’s quite personal and important.
I'd like you to read this passage with me from Hebrews 13:3:
"Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in
prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."
As a follower of Christ, nothing weighs heavier on my heart than the suffering
of our brothers and sisters who are paying the ultimate price for their faith.
I've seen the reports, heard the stories personally, and fought in the U.S.
Senate to shine a light on this darkness because their pain is real, raw, and
relentless.
They aren't distant statistics – they're our family in Christ.
Since 2009 in Nigeria, it's estimated that over 100,000 Christians have been
massacred, 20,000 churches have been destroyed, and over 5 million have been
displaced.
In China, it is not uncommon for faithful believers to be arrested simply for
gathering to worship, to have their homes raided, and their leaders imprisoned.
In Sudan, Islamist paramilitaries have long been on a rampage – bombing
churches, and killing priests and worshippers sheltering inside while forcing
survivors toconvert or be killed. In some cases, crucified.
Many don't realize it, but Christians are the most persecuted religious group
on the planet, facing torture, rape, enslavement, and murder. At least 380
million endure heavy persecution – 60% of them children, with girls and women
suffering the most violation.
My faith demands I act, illustrated quite clearly in the verse I shared above,
and I'd like to personally –and urgently – ask you to do so as well.
Save The Persecuted Christians is a vital non-profit organization engaged in
this fight on the front lines by raising awareness, providing a megaphone to
survivors, briefing lawmakers and government officials, and pushing
relentlessly for real policy changes and accountability.
Simply put, they are saving lives and saving souls and I'm urging you to help
with an emergency, tax-deductible donation today.

We cannot stand idly by while evil targets the faithful. It's time to rally
around our persecuted family, to show them they are not forgotten, that their
American brothers and sisters stand with them in prayer and action.
To fund its efforts across the globe, Save the Persecuted Christians has been
in the midst of an aggressive, nationwide fundraising campaign and I’m told
today’s stretch goal is 350 new donations by midnight.
So please, don’t hesitate. This group is leading a coalition of over 200
organizations to help exert maximum pressure wherever it’s needed most. They
are tireless and effective, andyour generous support will go a long way.
