Faith Facts

Violence and persecution against Christians sadly extend beyond national borders, impacting the faithful wherever they raise their voices for justice.
The courage of Mohaned Elnour in standing up for Biblical truth and speaking out against atrocities, even amid great personal risk, is a powerful example of living out one’s faith in the public square.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. We urge the Northumbria Police to conduct a detailed investigation into this assault, ensuring that those responsible face appropriate consequences.”
“We applaud Mr Elnour’s courage and conviction in speaking out about the atrocities taking place in Sudan without fear or favour, and rising to address the crowd once again, moments after being attacked.”
Standing firm in faith, let’s pray for those suffering religious persecution and resolve to uphold the dignity and liberty granted by God to all people.
