MPs and religious persecution


"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."
Galatians 6:10
That verse alone is enough to convince Christians that the suffering of their fellow-believers is their concern. Praying for them is essential, and so should be giving any other available support. With national newspapers and significant political figures bringing more attention to the suffering of Christians around the world, now is a great time to involve our local MPs.

Open Doors, the charity founded by "God's Smuggler" Brother Andrew, works with the persecuted church around the world, and advocates for freedom from persecution. On 20th January they will be presenting their latest report, Freedom of Religion and the Persecution of Christians, to MPs at the House of Commons. They promise that "this report will highlight the dynamics of persecution and is the perfect opportunity to equip MPs with the information they need to meaningfully engage with the issue of religious freedom". You can invite your MP to attend here.
