We are Christian human rights advocates who believe that every man and woman is created in God’s image, has freedom of religion, with inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights.

Persecution of all people based on their religious belief and loss of
freedom to choose and practice their beliefs without fear of government or social repression.
Christians and other religious minorities face discrimination, harassment, violence, abductions, destruction of property including places of worship, imprisonment and death.
