Global Threats to Christian Faith Intensify
Faith Facts
- 388 million Christians currently endure intense persecution worldwide.
- Over one in seven Christians faced this hardship last year, marking a significant rise.
- Christian believers report experiencing God’s presence even in dire circumstances.
Millions of followers of Christ are suffering for their steadfast faith as persecution grows globally. These challenges to religious freedom remind us of the importance of standing firm in Christian principles.
Even where oppression is strongest, testimonies reveal that God continues to strengthen and sustain His people.
“We’re seeing a continuation of a multi-year trend where persecution is expanding,” said Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US.
Let us pray boldly for persecuted believers and recommit to defending religious freedom everywhere.
